“So, a person who is for:
A robust national defense
Securing our borders
Trade deals that ACTUALLY benefit the workers if this country
Energy independence
Defending the 2nd Amendment
Reducing regulations
Eliminating unnecessary government agencies and departments
Balancing our budget
Taking care of veterans
Defending and backing our friends
Avoiding unnecessary foreign entanglements
and opposing our enemies
is not conservative.
Oh, I see. This isn’t REALLY about who is conservative or not, it is about a has-been trying to remain relevant, keeping his paycheck coming and continuing to get invited to the “right” parties where a bunch of like-minded sycophants will keep reminding said has-been how brilliant and nuanced he is.
Yeah, screw that noise, I want my country back!”
Excellent post and summary. I agree completely.
Hopefully others will figure this out soon also.
It would be a luxury to have the old conservative vs. liberal concerns.
The reality is this is now American nationalism vs. global, world government interests. It’s about whether we are a country, or just province in the global system.
