In August, a day after Kamala Harris accepted the Democratic nomination for president, a conservative-against-conservative argument erupted on social media. Steve Hayes, the editor and CEO of The Dispatch, called out his fellow conservatives for “fluffing” the progressive Harris and “embracing” the “nutty” Robert F. Kennedy Jr. “What a mess the modern conservative movement is,” he sighed.
The pile-on was swift.
Sarah Longwell, publisher of The Bulwark, was first. “Honestly, what are you talking about Steve?” she wrote. The problem with the conservative movement, she said, was the capitulation to Donald Trump, not the opposition against him. Hayes shot back: “It’s possible to oppose Trump without lionizing Kamala, right?” Longwell objected. “Watching your tedious rationalizations about why you’ll stand on the sidelines instead of taking a stand against the worst threat to American idea

” What do they do now?
Throw in the towel
No one with a verifiable conservative voting record is opposing President Trump. It’s all liberal RINOs.
Further, there is not a single policy, budget item, or legislative proposal from a single Democrat that is more “conservative” than President Trump’s least conservative agenda items. So, no conservative can rationally justify supporting any liberals over President Trump.
“The conservative media was “pulled by a tractor beam” — Trump’s supporters — “that demands positive coverage of the president regardless of how far he wanders from the ideas they once enforced””
So what ‘ideas’ did Trump wonder far from? Conservative judges,Nope! Tax Cuts,Nope! Secure Borders,Nope! Cheap and Secure Energy,Nope!
Bottom line is that this bunch of Leftists are pissed BECAUSE Trump pushed ahead with everything they claimed to have wanted, but actually never did want. In other words, this bunch was trying to CHANGE THE PARTY into some type of Globalist Enterprise and Trump said: “No thanks, I support what my voters want”.
That’s why they’re pissed.
Those aren’t conservatives.
They’ll have to hope that the liberal billionaires who pay them are stupid enough to keep the grift going.
This is the second article today posted on this issue. The other one is by NPR. Suddenly the leftist media sites and publications are really really concerned about the GOP RINO’s future. Someone obviously sent out a memo to start promoting RINO Never-Trumpers. Hint: If you are quoting Bulwark or Lincoln Project members, you aren’t quoting conservatives.
Never-Trumper’s aren’t “conservative”. They are Democrats with an (R) by their name.
“For example he was for gay marriage long before Barky and the Hildabeast were.”
When did Trump come out in support of gay marriage?
Note to bow-tied, hand-wringing, flop-haired conservatives:
The revolution is not a tea party.
Bunch of Nattering Nabobs of Negativity.
“They’ll have to hope that the liberal billionaires who pay them are stupid enough to keep the grift going.”
Good point - someone is FINANCING this bunch and it is not paid subscriptions from Republicans that don’t support Trump - simply not enough of them. So who?
F them.
They aren’t conservatives then. Very simple. It’s like calling an independent a conservative. Nope. A liberal
Media chosen Repubs vs true Conservatives.
Cry me a river, neocons.
Here is the NPR thread.
“Anti-Trump Republicans find themselves in a political no man’s land after Trump’s win”
https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/4284661/posts
“Denver Riggleman, a former Republican congressman and chairman of Republicans for Harris in Virginia, uses a different analogy.”
Gotta get in the opinion of the chairman of the “Republicans for Harris”. For surely he speaks for the conservative voters.
Now exactly what policy did Harris support that could be considered a conservative position? Anyone?
Exactly....Trump or bust
LOL My thought, too: Seppuku.
Conservatives? They mention the same libtard RINOs as always. The usual suspects.
GET THE H OUT OF MY COUNYRY!
But crawling in bed with the pedo and the whore is a bit much because you do not agree with a certain potion of the agenda. Especially since they are even more against that agenda then he is.
