"Conservative"

Everyone who values facts and accuracy should stop calling MAGAts “conservative”

They liberally apply MAGA standards, tear down old laws and replace them with new laws of their own liking.

Technically their actions are reactionary, but they’re too stupid to know what it means.

But preserving or conserving things they aren’t. MAGAts are never conservative, referring to Republicans mindlessly as conservative is factually wrong and journalistic malpractice.

They want to cancel all the progress made since my birth in 1948. They are reacting with terror to what they perceive as their well-deserved aristocratic status.

Proudly anti-regressive for seventy years and that is my go-to word of the day.

The word REPUBLICAN, when attached to their nonstop misdeeds, attaches accountability.

ammosexual, religious nuts, treasonous, dismal, delusional, pro-business, nasty....tons more but you get my drift. In no way would I use the term "conservative".

They’ve strayed so far away from the branding term “conservative” competitors should reposition them from the term “conservative”.

MAGAts have abandoned the meaning of the term, somebody smarter than us should destroy their conservative claims.
