We shouldn’t minimize conservative policy by calling it “Trump policy”. That will just let them scapegoat him later if they choose to. They are ALL doing this together. All conservatives are evil, not just their chosen leader.
That is what I typically do - calling conservative policy “trumpism” is just letting cons skate away after they voted for this guy 3x then pretending they had no idea what their movement and their party is about.
All the same fucking thing. The minute I hear someone starting up with the No True Conservatism stuff I know someone is throwing them a future lifeline for more conservative bullshit to be done by someone they find later, likely to be even worse, if the devolution from Nixon -> Raygun -> W -> donnie is any indication.
This isn’t just Trump. This is all conservatives.

Fuck that noise.
Conservatives == Republicans == “MAGA” == Trumpism
