“Yes, there is a conservative party now...and 4 years of liberalism in the WH will reinforce that conservative base and make it stronger.”
Do you understand the concept of “conservative by comparison only?”
yes, I do, and yes, I understand the point you are making also.
And so while we may not be as conservative as we used to be, I believe that 4 years of bad Democratic leadership could buck up this party to move right again.
