Why do you falsely believe conservatives are some sort of philosophic monolith? [/quote]

DP. Because the one thing that they all have in common is that they have voted for Trump over and over again. A true conservative would recognize that Trump is not, in fact, a real conservative.

For example:

*On fiscal policy, his administration has significantly increased the national deficit with tax cuts and spending, in direct opposition to conservative principles of fiscal restraint.

*On trade issues, his tariffs and trade wars contrast with conservative free-market ideals favoring open trade.

*On his approach to governing, his push for increased executive power and interventions, like pressuring companies or the Fed, deviates from small-government conservatism and emphasis on limited government.

*On social issues, his personal conduct and rhetoric often clash with conservative values and focus on morality, fidelity to one's spouse(s), and traditional decorum for a president. Pence embodied those traditional conservative values and was turned on by conservatives/MAGA.
