He's somebody who would prefer to lose, than be less than "pure" in his conservatism. I'm not. I will ally myself with whoever I need to, in order to stop the Left from enslaving my kids and grandkids.
I have to agree. Not addressed here is that, at least on paper, Milo agrees with the main, non-negotiable tenet of civilization: He announces freely that he's a sinner, and is not vague about it like someone who is just "virtue-signalling." He's willing to cite you chapter and verse as to why the statement is true. He's not only brilliant at skewering the hypocrisy of the totalitarian snowflakes, he's humble about himself. Meanwhile, it's our lookout to bear in mind that he's still obviously a work in progress.
It's a tenet of real conservatism that you accept sincere conversions to reality and work with those people in line with their capabilities. I thought CPAC was stupid in making him keynoter and also in the way they turned around and flushed him out completely. But I know the politics within the organization are tumultuous and incoherent at times. (Log Cabins yes, but Milo no?)
