They’re conservatives who oppose Trump. What do they do now?

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

Dunno who this Longwell woman is, but she sounds tedious.

Send them to a re-education camp in South Dakota or central Nevada.

We know they are not Conservatives at all.
We want them to go away and STFU.

“Conservatives” (ahem). Dont think so.

[enumerated]

The labels “conservative” and “liberal” are completely meaningless.

Tell me who you voted for - that’s all I need to know.
If you didn’t vote for Trump, regardless of what you call yourself - I would call you a moron.

Head over to Freerepublic?

[Lurker]

That’s a very cogent analysis.

Neocons are not conservatives. Neither are deep state lackeys who claim to be conservatives.

Seppuku is always an option...

Trump is not and has never been an ideologue. As for Conservative, what kind are you talking about, fiscal, religious or foreign policy? The venn diagram rarely intersects all three.

Trump is what I call a pragmatic populist.

They can sit on it and rotate.

Trump's strategy was to redirect from the abortion issue and it worked.

Everyone who wasn't a total low-info knew the Supreme Court decision left abortion up to the states. I was stunned, therefore, to see constant Dem-PAC commercials during the campaign which were absolute blatant lies, inferring that Donald Trump himself would somehow outlaw abortion.

The complete dishonesty was truly breathtaking.

It's the only issue they had. The Biden Administration's record was a disaster. No one liked Harris and Walz because they were terrible candidate. So they went all out on abortion.

I’d like to see a list of the things that these supposed conservatives agree with Trump on and disagree with him on. Then they can give us a similar list for Harris.

[Cobra64]

Why. Can’t. People. Just. Shut. Up. And mind their own business. Does anyone care what some dopey jackass “journalist” or politician thinks?

Idiots from the Bulwark. Might have known.

Sarah Longwell -- two tons of lezbo fun! Here she is with her "wife" and the children they didn't make together. (My heart goes out to those two precious, innocent young men.) Sarah is the codlapper on the right.

“Secure Borders,Nope!”

Secure borders was never anything other than lies by the conservative establishment types to get R voters to turn out.

Until Donald Trump.
