Can we FINALLY stop calling them conservatives? There's nothing at all conservative about deporting American citizens! [View all]

Every time a Republican runs for president, in retrospect the pukes always say he failed because he wasn't conservative enough.

Reruns Raygun wasn't conservative enough, Poppy "fighter pilot" Bush wasn't conservative enough, Bob fucking Dole wasn't conservative enough.

Little Jethro Bush knew something big was coming that summer, was briefed that something big was coming, Atty Gen Ashcroft stopped flying commercial in July of 2001, because they heard something bad was about to happen. During the attacks, Jethro kept reading a goddamned book to schoolkids instead of doing his job, even though he KNEW something was about to happen and WAS happening while he sat there.

Jethro next started an elective war in Iraq, an unending war in Afghanistan, let New Orleans drown, and did exactly squat while the stock market crashed in 2008. Couldn't find Bin Laden, and then said "what me worry?" Bang up job, sonny!

But he failed because (according to conservative pundits) he just wasn't conservative enough.

Former prisoner of war, a third-generation Annapolis grad, John McCain wasn't conservative enough. Mitt "hostile takeover" Romney wasn't conservative enough. That's why they lost, if you still listen to them.

Drumpf crawled out of the clown car, trashed the Obama economy, gave billionaires even more billions, killed over a million Americans because he couldn't admit there was any illness he couldn't out-BS, and brought the economy to a grinding halt because freedom and tax cuts. When he lost the re-election he tried every trick in the book to overthrow the fucking federal government, but he wasn't nearly conservative enough.

These assholes decry conservation and are always about chopping down every last tree, digging up dead dinosaurs and destroying the environment. Nothing remotely conservative in that.

Here comes Drumpf II and he's beginning this administration by taking a wrecking ball to the most powerful economy in the world, openly sucking Putin's cock, and deporting American citizens & legal residents to a for-profit gulag in a country that doesn't even have the decently to speak fucking English, but when his own people finally overthrow the bulging fat golfing fuck, they'll once again complain that he just wasn't conservative enough.

May we use a different word in the future? Driving the country into the ditch every time they're in office is not conservative in any way.

I'm taking suggestions below.
