When it became clear that he was going to advance the conservative agenda in a big, big way - that's when you started the bitter attacks.
Your crowd also realized that he is The Cleanest Guy in DC - which meant that the usual methods of control [think of the corruptocrats like Menendez, McConnell, Pelosi Schumer and human garbage like Hunter and The Tater] don't work on him.
That's when the desperate and vile smears like the ones you put out there came into vogue.
Exactly as I described him then and now. I have added cult like leader as that wasn’t apparent back then. Since 07-08 it has. But he has always been described by me as a snake oil salesman. Well before as move toward political ambitions became known or even suggested. And my primary discussions, or smears as you call them, center mostly in flip flops or lack of achievement. I don’t remember saying I disagreed with him overturning Roe but more of the backlash of it and his now flirting with a 15 week exception.
