The Conservative Movement™ is a globalist, transnationalist monstrosity which has wrapped itself in our beautiful flag to deceive us while they dissolve our nation from under our feet.
I will vote for Bernie Sanders before I vote for Marco Rubio, and if you don't understand the impulse, you don't have enough contact with the wreckage of the white working class.
I agree with you entirely but I cannot vote for Bernie. I will vote Constitutionalism Party.
I think my point flew completely over your head ...
The Atlantic explains Conservatives.
Kind of like Stalin explaining what was wrong with Russian Jews just before he sent them to the Gulag.
This article is typical meaningless elitist BS “analysis”, just the same as the nonsense being peddled at NRO and all the rest of the so-called citadels of “conservative principles”.
The reality is that Trump’s rise was precipitated by the effectiveness of applied elitist “conservative principles”.
After all, so many of us still remember how the heroic “conservative” Republican-led Congress stood up to Obama and stopped his agenda dead in its tracks by passing a budget that eviscerated his illegal immigration policies, eliminated the energy-destroying EPA, eliminated the Marxist propaganda Education Department, eliminated the job-destroying Labor Department, eliminated the racist Civil Rights Commission, defunded the FCC until they give back control of the Internet to private industry, defunded Obamacare, defunded the Planned Parenthood slaughter, defunded enforcement of 99% of Obama”s regulations and Executive Orders. It was a great day for America when that happened, when conservative Republicans stopped Obama’s agenda cold.
Given all of these amazing accomplishments by the “conservative” Republican party, it’s no wonder that the only thing that rank-and-file Republicans everywhere care about is getting some more of them elected so that they can continue applying their “conservative” Republican principles to such good effect.
In other words, Trump’s rise has got jack to do with Rush Limbaugh, Fox News, Breitbart.com, Mark Levine or any other media outlet. Nonetheless, I find it charming that uberlib Atlantic is so CONCERNED about the demise of “movement conservatism”, because, after all, The Atlantic is the first place ALL conservatives go to get their fingers on the pulse of trends in conservatism.
As did mine
Your own post flew over your own head - I say, that’s a real achievement!
Although, that sort of thing is to be expected of a Trumpeter in any case.
No, my point obviously flew over your head.
No one can claim to support the Constitution and advocate for ineligible candidates.
