Same thing can be said for cuckservatives. They sit back and whine about Trump's tweets or shit he says, like they have any idea of how to fight. Look faggot, do you want to have "muh conservative principles" or do you want to win?
I find this one so funny. What "conservative principles" has Trump betrayed?
Pro life? Lower taxes? Reduced regulatory burden? Pro law and order? Pro manufacturing and business? Oh wait--he's the first Republican President to actually uphold any of these since Reagan.
No, the "conservative principle" is apparently that people on the right should always bend over being nice to the liberal media and never make fun of their opponents, especially on Twitter.
... Yet I can't find that in a Republican platform from any time in history. Almost like the Bush 1&2 crew just made it up from whole cloth to excuse their fake "conservatism" of the past 30 years.
... And that's the line for the old Bush crew, eh? That's the "conservative principle" they hold most dear and are willing to abandon the entire Republican party and vote for universal healthcare and open borders for?
K. Sure. Makes total sense. Not hilarious or ironic at all. Nope.
I think Trump is far more conservative than any other major republican figure of the 20th century, with the obvious exception of my username. But that doesn't mean he can't be attacked from the right for his spending. And coming back with "yeah but Bush was just as bad on spending" is not a strong counter.
All that said, you gotta respect Trump for being apparently the only man on earth who is willing and able to stand up and try to halt the madness, both domestically and foreign policy wise.
I used to joke around like "lol how funny would it be if he were like a batman figure, and his twitter persona is like the decadent bruce wayne he uses to catch people off guard" but I've pretty much come to believe that about him unironically.
I had one guy on fb say that Trump's just "using" the Christian community for their votes and that's one of the reasons he's not voting for him. Mind you this guy is VERY anti-abortion and conservative in general. Blows my mind.
Conservative Catholic here. There has not been a single president in US history that has stood up for pro-lifers like Donald Trump has.
It’s unbelievable that he is the first president to speak at the March for Life. That’s an easy 100k+ lifetime votes just sitting there on the table for any president to take. All they had to do is step outside their front door and say that they don’t like abortion. And to this day, Trump has been the only president with the guts to do it.
Conservatives need to understand that being tough is not immoral. When your opponent not only fights you but fights dirty there is no time to think about what is the most moral way to win.
In 2016, there was a guy at work who said he wasn't voting Trump because he thought the leaders should have moral character... I never found out who he was voting for, but my guess would be whoever it was had all kinds of skeletons in the closet.
Exactly. Jesus kicked out the money changers from the temple with a whip and knocked over their tables. Christians beat the Muslim invaders in the crusades. Over the years Christians became pacifists. Sure it is good not to start unnecessary wars, but it seems like Christians forgot Jesus fought too and only remember the turn the other cheek verse. And from the old testament turning our swords into plowshares and not the verse that says turn our plowshares into swords.
Thats really what grinds my gears. A lot of conservatives want “purists”. Fuck that, I want to win and destroy liberalism! It takes action to win, not words!
I don't agree with everything Trump does so let's just not win at all and go hide and cry in a corner while leftists round us up and send us all to reeducation camps. /s
I am still a small-L libertarian, but the thing is, I've never been a fan of the Libertarian party. They are a joke, and they do pander to the left in the hope that they will somehow be seen as legitimate.
Same here. I agree with them philosophically on most issues but they have zero understanding of tactics and how to win in our two party system. Almost makes me believe they are getting paid under the table as spoilers.

The national debt has grown by trillions. Gov't spending has only increased. Nothing conservative about that.

god I wish a party took this seriously (well libertarians do but...) but we're well off from this becoming mainstream

But what blows my mind is not just Trumps words, but his actions he's done to actually protect religious freedom and yet people still don't like him
He banned bump stocks
he betrayed the conservative principle of pretending to conserve things while getting reemed in the ass by the D's

Please we can elect non-Christians who fight dirty for us in the political sphere. Nothing wrong with that. These people need to wake up
I feel like the refusal to be tough is directly related to the feminization of men in the west.

And it gets them nothing, because the left will at best ignore then, and at worst call them nazis when they disagree on tax policy or something
I agree!
