Related: About this forumThe R base is not "conservative." It is "Radical Right Wing." Period.
We must learn how to use effective language framing. So many people around here and everywhere say "conservative" referring to the RePUKElicans. These wingnuts are not conservative. George Will is conservative. Steve Schmidt is conservative. William Buckley was conservative. But these crazed Trump ghouls and the Fox News base of the TeaPublican Party are NOT "conservative."
Say "Radical Right Wing."
Call them "Right Wing Wingnuts."
Call them "Crazy Right Wingers."
Call them vomit-inducing "RePUKElicans."
You get the picture.

'holding to traditional attitudes and values and cautious about change or innovation, typically in relation to politics or religion.'
