Where did it all go so wrong? What happened? I think the answer to that is clear. Conservativism gradually gave way to populism and populism is incompatible with freedom and traditional conservative values. Much of that blame lies with the cult of personality associated with former President Trump. To be frank, when he ran in 2016, I didn't think that he had a chance, but unlike the defeatist swine who now infest FR, I went out and voted for him, donated to his campaign, and was thrilled on election night when he achieved what at the time, seemed impossible. While I was really voting against Hillary instead of for Trump, I did my duty. After he delivered on his promises with SCOTUS, he earned my vote in 2020. However, since that time, he has lost it and it is clear that it is time for him to go.

Seems reasonable
