I would argue it isn't even about parties. I don't think it ever was. There has always been a segment of the population who care about the "ME", and the way that is achieved, is by pandering to authoritarian/Fascist figures like Trump. They use this facade, pretending to care about all of our founding documents, while pretending to be good Christians of the Republican party. Throw up. When in reality, they practice exactly the opposite thing. Bad intentions for those who do not think and look like them. They want them gone/ dead. Either one works for them. So, is that line of thinking about a conservative party? LOL! Of course not. It's the facade that is used, to imply they are conservatives. They don't give a shit about that. They care about their own power, wealth, and control of others, while calling their mission about freedom. What a joke, and a big fat lie.
