They don’t like Trump, but they vote for him and their approval of him is 90%. Okay. Let me translate, they don’t want to be seen as being horrible people, but essentially they are and will continue to be, based on their actions. Okay.

“...the only conservatives I’m familiar with are the millions of voting ones ...”
No. Conservatives will start defining you out of conservatism if you’re a “conservative” who criticizes the tribe.
“... like, this is what people think all conservatives are now, and we are not.”
Only one overarching group in American politics predominantly shares the factors that define a tribe (culture, language, religion, race, etc.), and it ain’t liberals/progressives...
“......the crap you think of is unbelievable.”
There’s a troll repeatedly trying to comment the same thing to this that I wanted to agree with. Everyone has this tendency, but that does not make everything equal. Conservatives institutionally reject things like introspection and self doubt, labeling them weakness, they reject science and academics and journalism,…
Context is such a harsh mistress...
It’s worse than that. It goes back to his teens.
Conservatives have a terrible time with projection. The characteristic complete lack of self awareness leads them down some ridiculous paths. They make the mistake of false consensus constantly. They think their opposition thinks the same way that they do and for the same reasons.
Build the dang wall! Wall off the old Confederacy and let’s be done with dealing with all this backwards nonsense. I’m sick of my tax dollars paying for this stupidity, let Texas foot the bill for this.
I feel insane for having to point this out, but the guy who has the government running ethic concentration camps, tells you the only truth comes from him and not to believe your lying eyes or the enemy of the people press, calls political opposition to him treason, wants military parades in D.C., has called explicit…
Yeah, this has been my take for a very long time. What is the issue with just not being an a-hole? Why do so many people jump up to defend being an ass? I mean, yeah, it’s many times your right to be an a-hole... but then you’re an a-hole. There’s no right to not be criticized or ostracized or identified as such when…
Build the dang wall! Wall off the old confederacy and end the theft of our tax dollars to fund backwards idiocy!
Off in left field by himself, like some lonely loser. Sad!
Trump is going to win re-election. The Dems have given the voters they need to win absolutely nothing to be motivated about, and actually do a great job of demonstrating why those would-be voters don’t vote, because there is nothing motivating them to actually vote for.
Sadly, I can only star you once...

Oh! I got one! She’s like the person of color who looks white enough to pass, only it’s that she’s a horrible conservative monster that people can mistake for being a presumably reasonable human being. It’s like a super power, only she’s a despicable person.
Well, the big success here is that we’ve clearly made racism a thing which is considered bad. Even the racists, in society in general, have to claim they aren’t racist and have to come up with “culture” as an excuse.
