Trump didn’t “kill” conservatism, he simply carried it through to its natural conclusions. It was always just a kind of fascism too timid to show its face.
The ugliest passions within the GOP is the very core of conservatism.
Are we pretending that conservatism and all that ugly shit are somehow separate? People don’t get all excited to go out an vote for tax policies to send more money to the wealthy and deregulate businesses. Not really. They want to make liberals cry and make POC second class citizens and punch down on women and gays. Just look at the shit they get supposedly “cancelled” over from various platforms. They get ostracized for hate speech, not because they want to dismantle the EPA or whatever.
These people are not conservative. They are regressive. They seek to go back to some imagined golden past that never existed.
It worked. I FUCKING HATE REPUBLICANS.
Republicans aren’t conservative. I am WAY more conservative than any of them, and Im liberal.
They aren’t religious, they are disgusting scum and exceed my tolerance for morality (for obvious reasons). They are corrupt, seeking only to benefit themselves. They overspend. They start wars for profit or to hide certain scandals. The only “conservative” belief they adhere to imo is the want for smaller government … because they do in fact want a dictatorship.

Don’t believe it for a second. Conservative “smaller government” is always about getting rid of some long-term bureaucrats who know what they’re doing and government programmes conservatives don’t like, and then growing Government by massively increasing internal security apparatus (police, border control, military, prisons, etc.).
Every conservative government always want to go “tough on crime” or “expel (il)legal immigrants” — and that always winds up with a massive increase in government size and expenditures. You don’t get those things without a significant number of boots on the ground, and once you have those boots on the ground they’ll find every excuse to use them — just like how ICE is terrorizing blue cities in the US, or is being used to supplant airport security.
“Smaller government” is just conservative code for “wielding more control over citizens”. Every time.
Trump was elected President because of the stupidity of the Democratic Party. They selected an old man who was too far to the left. For example, Biden let illegal migrants flood in despite polls showing most Americans wanted secure borders. Then when he dropped out, it was too late to have another convention to select a replacement. Instead, Kamala Harris was appointed, a person who so dumb said she would have done nothing different than Biden despite knowing that the Republican strategy was to associate her with Biden.
Lol you must be a bot or something. I don’t think real people are actually as stupid as you’re pretending to be right now
You really need to find better news sources if you actually believe any of that.

I agree Biden is an old communist and I would have preferred Bernie Sanders over him any day.
Andy Beshear would have been a better Democratic Presidential candidate.
