I think that’s exactly right.

This reckoning was a long time coming. Self identified conservatives haven’t delivered on much. Increasingly important, voters are coming to the perfectly reasonable conclusion that Republicans are (another) major obstacle to advancing conservative goals. If we’re going to lose anyway, why keep enabling these asshats?
Well, yeah. And if being a “conservative” means that you don’t enforce the border, enter wars you have no intention of winning, allow our enemies to walk into our country without even naming them, then count me out.
