I like to accuse them of being election sleeper trolls or ask them if they just got out of prison.

On a more serious note, although I’ve always considered myself to be a conservative, as I found myself in more agreement with Donald Trump I’ve come to realize that I’m more of a populist with nativist leanings.

Looking at the behavior of some of our more strident Cruz adherents, I’ve come to the conclusion that the people on the far right are just as nutty as those on the far Left. For some of them no matter how good your position or evidence they’re completely blind to considering it.

I’ve just about given up on trying to change anyone’s mind.

A while ago, I realized that the word “conservative” means - whatever anyone wants to think it means. And in the last few months that has proven to be more true than I even suspected.

It’s just a label that actually means little to nothing, at this point. Considering all the “conservatives” who have done nothing but help 0bunghole and his henchpeeps take the country (and helped the world) to the very brink of the abyss.

How can anyone be a conservative unless they are America first? The "consistent conservatives" created a narrative to define globalism as conservatism.

I believe they are Uniparty. Their entire existence of leaching off of the taxpayers will come to an end with the election of Mr. Trump. I keep seeing their posts getting more and more panicking.

It is also possible they are Democrat plants. Either way, they are as far from conservative as one can get.

At this point, minds won’t be changed.

You have the diehard idealist that can’t think in the abstract.

Cruz is Conservative. End of debate.

They see him as just as capable as Trump. There is no reason. If he didn’t have any other votes but theirs, they’d still vote for him. To hell with the nation, they made their stand.

Trump can actually achieve what they want. Ted couldn’t. It doesn’t matter.

Trump is Satan to them. There’s nothing beyond that.

Some folks are in this to support Ted, and others are in it here to toss it back to the GOPe.

Ted’s folks can’t fathom who they are helping, and what it will cost the nation.

They don’t participate on this level. They are incapable of it. Others know full well what they are doing.

This is the all out war they spoke of.

Now we have the Vichy FReepers collaborators.

They may very well cost us the war, and the nation we love.

It is that dire.

“I’ve come to realize that I’m more of a populist with nativist leanings.”

I’ve been a similar way for a very long time, but had no idea what to label myself. All I know is that I’m less interested in politics and that game, than I am in loving my country, its history, it’s culture, our founding articles and precepts, etc.
