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?
Tbf, average “conservative” working class people might just have inherited their politics. They lack class consciousness, there is a lot of false consciousness. And they look at the average democratic politician and see the same disgusting neoliberal stooge we do. They need political education. Not that there aren’t dyed in the wool racists and bigots of course.
Conservative POLITICIANS on the other hand are completely unsalvageable scum.
