Why are the fake conservatives(far right silverbacks) in this group kissing up to him? Do they really believe that pleasing a far right base makes one conservative? No, it makes one authoritarian and fascist. Bush, Murkowski, Collins, Lamar Alexander etc are conservatives. The far right are useless tools except for votes.
“Trump is not a conservative”
Perhaps.
But he’s nonetheless pursing the same failed, wrongheaded rightwing agenda backed by real conservatives:
Reckless, irresponsible, and unwarranted deregulation
Hateful, bigoted anti-immigration policy
Hateful, bigoted anti-gay and transgender policy
Hostile to privacy rights, due process rights, and voting rights
…just to name a few.
Ultimately, it doesn’t matter whether Trump is a conservative or not.
