“Barbarians and cultists are all alike ~ how can anyone vote for either of these guys. I am embarrassed to know so terribly many people who are not at all bothered by these things.”
The speed with which so many “conservatives” are running to embrace a candidate who is demonstrably not a conservative is a little frightening in truth. It’s like there is no principle or moral standard worth standing for and saying: “here is the line that I simply don’t cross.” Or worse bit’s a case of “I see the line, but I’m going to dash across it anyway because the other guy is nasty and the ends justify any means.”
It’s just moral relativism writ very large.

No, that is a delusional rationalization.You have forgotten where you are.
You overlook one preeminent point. We or at least most of us, are Americans.
We have a political system in America wherein we have two political parties that encompass all the various coalitions. For the presidential slot, the various coalitions put forward candidates and the number is winnowed down to one per party. The various coalitions have their day. If they have strength, they win. If they lack strength they lose.
Some losers have decided that it is more important to exercise their own conservative vanity than it is to join American’s in having a presidential election
