Conservative and RW are terms that have existed for awhile, but don't do justice to the virulence that the WWers display. The racist dimension seems to dominate regardless of their policy positions.
In any given situation they can be counted on to display a hatred that was previously found only in neoNazi and KKK cells that has now metastasized and entered what passes for mainstream GOP dialogue.

(21,646 posts)Some were always keeping it inside and feel free now to be one's real selves because trump won
They were ugly and kept that talk off the street but it was in thier hearts and minds anyway and amongst family and friends . So now that they voted all R in 16',they are free for thier congress to act for wingers and for them it is victory so all the white winger moves out of the WH are MAGA
and for them it's OK now to act out in public places or enact as public policy
It is the republican party and movement that's accepted it now and RW doesn't cover the new mutation at all I agree
And a it's a new generation coming in not necessarily conservatives as much as white wingers adding to the majority R
Plus the Republican Party has practiced 8 years of intensive racial hate on Obama as they targeted the democratic president on his color and brought a new level of disrespect for the office
So many Rs were gaining experience on creating the white winger party for awhile as the norm for the Republican Party and didn't mind a little KKK or super Christian neo nazi segment going unnoticed
Republican Congress , RNC , big white superchurches uberRrich all exposed now they will never address this issue and say they are just being republicans
Yes some republicans have called all this out and are alarmed about what is happening to thier Conservative party and of course they would not be white wingers imo but just stupid to stay with the party then and how little they push back really or maybe what they tolerate it means they are just bystanders commenting not caring to act
After all,they are old school republicans so it was never good but even that seems gone or certainly not in power of the party

(53,410 posts)and the Republican Party sucked up to them in fear. Trump is their deepest desire made manifest. They will never turn away from him because he is just like them. They have everything in common with him except wealth, and its easy for them to believe that if he can be rich with his limited mental abilities then somehow they will also be rich some day. He is their god now, and is cemented in their life more with every crudeness he spews.
