I agree with the notion that Trump supporters and true conservatives are different entities, with some overlap.
The few conservatives I know in the real world, except for one, rejected Trump. One of them described it this way–and I am paraphrasing–“As a conservative, I could never support Trump.”
I believe that many people see that difference.
With that said, some real conservatives are also Trump supporters.’
If this observation offends anybody, I apologize.
(I’ve noticed that many harmless posts are disappearing lately–sometimes as I am replying to them–and I don’t know why. It could be a forum glitch, but I figured I’d play it safe anyway.)
I’m aware. People who have been around long enough to know the rules are also the ones asking. Coincidence, I’m sure. Or maybe just more of the same shenanigans that were being pulled on the old board in the mod section too.
