You are a bit behind the times. Liberalism isn’t liberal anymore - it is now conservative if Trump says it. Planned Parenthood does good things and Trump will defund “the abortion part.” “Universal Healthcare” is now a good thing, in addition to praise of Canada’s single-payer system. Kelo v. New London Connecticut was once believed to be one of the worst SCOTUS decisions from the modern era - now it is a good ruling. Calling for powerful Federal agencies to sensor your critics is good - shows “guts.” Lecturing “You conservatives” that we’ll “just have to get used to it” when comes to the government “taking care of everybody” is also good.

Could go on, but you get the gist. If you don’t support these things, you are now an establishment stooge hoodwinked by or working for the GOPe.

LOL, yup. Any criticism of Trump now, no matter how unconservative "the Donald's" positions is met with a barrage of "you're a GOPe RINO" charges.

We are in cult of personality territory here. No amount of reason, evidence, intellectual discourse, etc, is going to change the mind of a die hard Trumpster. For the most part they love the man, not necessarily many of his policies. In fact when it comes to policy, they mostly don't care - only trotting out his "evolved" conservative views to rebut charges that Trump is not and has never been an ideological conservative.

It's really no wonder Trump seems to have a soft spot for Putin. In many ways, they are quite similar.

Their use of personal attacks is very Alinsky-like.

Yes, I have gathered that. I don't support Trump because he is a lifelong liberal so that means, according to those willing to overlook his liberalism, that I support another liberal like Bush. It is strange thinking to be sure, but so is supporting a liberal for the GOP nomination, and that seems to be rampant around here.
