I love hearing those claiming “cave”.....Let me see if the my math is correct:

In 2016 Trump got est. 63 Million votes (Hitlary got an est. 65.5M votes legal and illegal) despite a lot of people who didn’t come out for him because they thought he was going to lose or they bought into the Never Trump B/S.

In 2018 The Democrats get 60 Million votes and take 40 seats and take control of Congress with some of the most radical and celebrated Socialists to ever hold those positions!
The Republicans get only 50 Million vote mostly due to Paul Ryan and all the weak spined RINOs who reneged on their promises of repealing Obamacare, Fund the Wall (we wouldn’t be in this position now), etc...

That means that 13 Million people who voted for Trump didn’t come out to vote, didn’t bother protesting (please don’t give me this, “we have jobs and better things to do....good- keep working your day job why the radical left are active in taking everything from you)!

Let me ask everyone here:
Where are OUR counter protests?
Where are OUR marches in front of Congress?
Where is OUR march in front of the Justice Dept demanding that the “Russia” probe end?
Where are OUR marches in cities across the country against Socialism?

Have you ever heard of “Out of sight out of mind?” What do we expect? Every day Trump has to put up with Russia B/S, Mueller investigations about everything and everyone but the truth, the media bashing, his OWN Republican Party back stabbing him...and now we complain that he’s “caving”. Sorry folks, I’m not a blind follower of Trump or any politician for that matter - I learned my lesson, the hard way, a long time ago but when there’s virtually NO ACTIVISM from our side (last time I remember it was the summer of the Tea Party ten years ago) let’s not cry when our country is taken away from right under our noses and suddenly we expect ONE person to hold the fort alone!

As the saying goes, “You snooze, you lose....”

To answer your question....conservatives are lazy and really dont care. They look for someone else to take care of the issues, and they will check sites like this in order to glean how it is going (again, they are otherwise uninterested), and then they will never fail to offer you their critiques if you arent doing it exactly the way they think it needs to be done.



Of course we have no shortage of people that will tell you about all of their guns and ammo for when "the civil war starts", but that begs the question of why are you wholly uninterested in anything short of shooting at people, when doing that is going to take you permanently away from your comfy computer chair? Trump is expected to take the hits and be the warrior for people that obviously dont give two shakes. For most of us, we absolutely appreciates everything he does. For a bunch of others, they will turn on him at the drop of a hat, but otherwise will keep their mouths shut as long as he keeps taking the hits while they dont have to get dirty. It's just fun and entertainment on the computer screen to be turned off when it's time to go watch the game for them.
