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?

    Leftists see conservatives upholding all hierarchies including capitalism so they’re capitalist bootlickers, and liberals unable to conceive of any system other than capitalism so they’re capitalist bootlickers.

    But this is correct tho

      Well yeah.

      But the reasons why someone is wrong are often more important than the fact they're wrong in the first place.
