Conservatism is at the root of all of our problems. A lot of the anti-Trump GOP go to great lengths to cleverly imply that Trump is not their poisonous blossom, but he absolutely is.

Conservative means criminal. And it has for many, many years. It's primitive tribalism painted over. There is no wisdom to it, no matter how many intelligent True Believers argue otherwise.

Yes, I'm glad they're not all in lockstep. But 90% of them are. And that's a devastating indictment of the ideology itself.
