People have to understand what conservatism is. They are stuck in the past.

With $36T in debt, all issues of tax and spend no longer mean anything. That debt level has no solution. There is nothing that can be done.

It is not at all clear why this guy backstabbed Trump. Why would he think that would have no repercussions?

There are only two issues. The Border and the Swamp, which means eradication of incumbents. That is conservatism from now on, and Good was an incumbent, so that worked against him.

As for his anti vax anti mask obsession, that would at least be consistent except that he announced the virus is real. If he had announced there was no virus, then he would have been consistent in ignoring death counts. But he said it was real, which suggested he didn’t want any efforts to stop killing old people. But I doubt this moved many votes.

He backstabbed himself when he backstabbed Trump.

With respect I believe you have the priorities inverted. If the debt crisis is not resolved there will be no control over the border and no cleaning out of the swamp because there will be no constitutional republic as we now know it.

History tells us that in the wake of every catastrophic financial crisis the result is not better more prudent government but tyranny as the people turn in their desperation to a Savior, a man on horseback, who promises to end the misery if only we surrender a small portion of liberty.

A budget out of control means no economy no economy means no Republican democracy and no constitutional government as we know it means no border and no accountable administrative government. If the government cannot control its budget history tells us it cannot control the streets, it cannot control the mob, and, ultimately, it cannot control itself.

We need massive spending cuts, cancellation of all debt to hostile regimes like China, and to begin to pay down the debt.

But Trump’s administration added to the debt bigly. Meanwhile, the Free State of Florida just enacted a budget that actually spends LESS.

Good didn’t “backstab” anyone; your leader did. He has backstabbed conservatives at every turn.

He didn’t fight the Swamp; he empowered it.

I would add Trumps inherent anti wokeness to those other two issues
This is all a fight for western civilization as much as it is preserving the constitution

And drill and pump

[TBP]

this guy backstabbed Trump.

So tell me. In 1976, did Ronald Reagan and his supporters backstab President Ford?
