"Conservatives" are as dug in and as ridiculous as ever

Even more so, actually, as they remain emboldened by their idiot cult leader. They disgust me. We must keep our discipline and we must defeat them. I will badmouth no Democrat not only because it defeats my goal of putting fascists out of business but also it gives cover to Russian and KGOP trolls.

Between conservatives and Republicans.

Conservatives have a belief system. Strong government, fiscal responsibility etc.

Republicans have sold their souls, go whichever direction is convenient
at the time. Have no spine or morals. Needless to say they are a real danger to mankind.

Notice my use of scare quotes. "Conservatives" are not conservative. They are to the right of conservatives.

What is to the right of.conservatives? Fascists. Alas the fascists call themselves conservative so I follow suit bu5 with the scare quotes as a term of.disrespect.

One could call them trash, too. Morons. Cult followers. ....

As we can see they pave the way for fascists. As Alan Greenspan said "there is a flaw in the ideology." A big one, as it turns out.

ReTHUGs are not conservatives - they are racist, woman hating violators of the constitution they swear to defend. They do not gie a damn about deficits as long as they are looting the coffers.
