Disagree, they may have been predecessors but as I said Trump wasn't even a blip on the radar yet. You might as well say Grover Norquist was a MAGAt. If we're tracing the toxicity back we can go all the way back to FDR. The right is a party of failed policies and incorrect theories, full stop.
I'm saying the people who are dumb enough to fall for populist bullshit and lies.. and never check the evidence themselves.. fall for both of these conmen.
But there are conservative Americans that don't also. It's not hard to understand. Accurate language is important.
I understand very well that you're trying play the No True Scotsman card.
85% of Conservative comgresspeople signed Norquists tax pledge by 2012 and Gingrich led the "Republican Revolution" in 1994, they're all like this. The ones you think "don't" sure seem to support the same policies as the ones who do, they're just quieter about it.
If you're unhappy with how the Republican party is perceived I'd recommend leaving it as it's corrupt to the core and the only people still involved are grifters and useful idiots.
Ah you're not an American, suffice to say things are complicated here and I'm not "handing anyone votes" by calling the Republican party liars and thieves. Anyone who pretends I am would've never voted against that party anyway.
You did it again. Republicans aren't thieves and liars. But anyone who supports trump is. (Which is absolutely what's important right not. I hope you remember that at some point.)
What would you call a group of people who willingly support proven corrupt liars and thieves?
Where are these mythological people who oppose Trump? We've seen any internal opposition be primaried out or bend the knee to him so yes, if you still stand by the Republican party I'll absolutely call you a fucking moron.
