I have yet to me an anti-Trump person with the foggiest *accurate* understanding of why he is supported by So many conservatives.
Disclosure: I don’t have time to spell it all out today. I’ve done so scores of times in the past, however; it’s all in my posting history.
I understand completely why people in general support him. I personally agree with him on a number of issues. But he’s not a conservative. And he has important issues he is liberal as hell on.
But a conservative has an option far more in tune with the conservative philosophy. So if a person goes with Trump over that option, they have chosen moderation/to be a moderate.
Thats their choice. But it is not conservative by any historical definition and they do not get to rewrite the definition to make themselves feel better. We should all stop pretending and playing games with this. If you (people in general) are moderate, then embrace it and say so. If people would do that we could avoid a lot of fighting. But as Lincoln said, “How many legs does a dog have if you call a tail a leg? He has four because calling a tail a leg doesn’t make it one”.
