Wow, such virtuous soapbox ranting. 
I havenât been a Republican since W. Bush decided to invade Iraq. But Iâve been a conservative all along. And yes, prior to Trump, Iâve voted straight R up and down the ballot all along. I just no longer financially supported them or worked to elect them. Which I had gladly done since the Goldwater days.
Iâm hopeful that the GOP returns to its conservatives roots. But it seems like it may extend well past Trumpism.

I donât believe he was ever a republican. Same with all the ones on here saying they was republicans & are presently conservatives.
A conservative never votes for a leftist, ever, especially in a time like this when our freedoms are in peril.

Thatâs funny.
Let me add in the edit:

A conservative wouldâve voted third party.

Trumpism was only the symptom of a greater malady - the disease was years of Republican capitulation to the unfettered march of the progressive movement in the Democratic party. If it hadnât been Trump, another would have eventually filled the same disruptor role. I suspect that people like you and me are fairly close ideologically, but perceive the seriousness of that threat differently. There was never going to be any âheal the nationâ effort, nor any attempts at actual policy debates once a President Harris administration is sworn in. Theyâll go right back to steamrolling the nation as soon as they have the numbers to do so, which is why any vote for them to restore civility was always futile.

Tried that four years ago and got Trump. He is destroying the institutions that made this country great and his acolytes are blind to it. We CANâT do worse than him.

Couldnât be because of the way you treated trump supporters?
No way.
Seems some people canât see the forest for the trees.
Right here you call conservatives who believe a little different from you sick. Than you canât help but double down and call conservatives who have different ideaâs than you without principles. Itâs funny witness you wanting to deny what you are.

Who says the conservative party needs people who believe they are the sole voice of the conservative party and everyone in the party needs to walk lock step with them?
My conservative party believes in diversity of ideaâs and people. I enjoy new ideaâs and new ways of getting things done.
I have probably been with the conservative party a lot longer than you and I see people trying to bring the party back to the conservative party of reagan.
The trump supporters how done a great thing they have exposed the people in office who were just there to get along and not get anything done.

Ever used the term âRINOâ?
Sure there are many of them who post here and call themselves true conservatives.

What exactly is Trumpism? What agenda, vision and/or policies would you like to see?
True, but thatâs nothing compared to whatâs coming for what used to be the dem party.

Every time I try to make that point itâs ignored, which is probably the consequence of years of Trump drowning out all other voices in the room.
