    Conservatives have never had a coherent set of principles besides serving the ruling class. Ruling-class unearned privilege is the thing conservatism was founded to conserve. Any other principles they espouse have changed over time, either because the interests of the ruling class have evolved, or because the conservatives are just being sanctimonious hypocrites and saying whatever it takes to gain power.

    So, yes, Trump is a conservative. He’s serving the malefactors of great wealth, including himself.

      This is exactly the sort of bullshit that landed us with Trump as a president to begin with. Liberals and Republicans have truly started to believe the lies they tell about the other side. Then can then justify doing “exceptional things” to defeat the “evil other team”.

      “Liberals have never had a coherent set of principles besides government control of everything and limiting freedoms”

      Sounds stupid right? Well that’s what they believe of you. And it’s just as stupid as what you believe of “them”.
