I keep hearing them say things like "oh, no, Trump isn't a real conservative, he's an insult to the true and honorable conservatives who helped make this nation great" But I think my brain is too functional to understand what point they're even getting at.

What possible meaningful definition of "conservative" includes the decades of shit ass doodoo ass Republicans but not Trump?

      Is it literally just the tone, then?

      I guess that shouldn't be surprising but for some reason I was expecting more

      For liberals (esp. rich, white, male) politics is a game not a war, so they truly do not understand incivility.

      Like, 'dude! I invited you to my dinner party for charades, why are you yelling?'
