Not true. Conservatism was fractured long before Trump. In 2012 I used to argue at websites with Romney supporters because I didn’t find Mitt any good. Those Romney supporters thought they were “conservative.”
I think conservatism attached to classical elitist conservative establishment has largely been a concerted campaign of deception about real motives. Lies of exigency (to get elected) in my opinion.
This deception was outed by Trump and the bleats, moans, deceit, scheming, cheating and sabotage by the establishment conservatives was clearly, clearly apparent during this campaign. The acolytes of this entrenched cabal are now known, and they will never recover from it in my opinion. Truth and straight talk combined with action will see to that.
I guess you didn’t read the whole thing.
It was fractured before Mittens.
We had people on this forum who insisted that if you would not participate in arming the Muslim theocrats by voting for McCain then you really wanted Obama. Much of the openly and unabashedly Islamist faction here would go on to champion Islamist icon Rick Perry, who signed Sharia Court provisions into Texas law
As things have played out, those two turncoats have become revealed to everyone as being exactly what they were then , and nobody promoting either one is cooling anybody anymore.

That’s EXACTLY what the author is saying.

So did you sit the 2012 election out and allowed that arrogant pos former occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave get reelected?
Yeah, Trump is more like the revenge of Pat Buchanan than an extension of the Tea Party.
