I wish everyone would stop referring to the MAGAs as conservative. They are anything but conservative. They are right wing radicals and fascists. A conservative stands for the status quo or at best slow measured change not radical overturning of the world order.

Amen. This is one of my pet peeves!

To be fair the party before MAGA wasn’t at all conservative. It’s just a label. You’d have to go back to George H.W. Bush to really find a Republican administration pushing conservative principles. There were minor aspects of George W Bush pushing conservative reforms but all of his actual reforms would’ve been considered far left of Bill Clinton and right in line with Obama.

And I wish people would stop referring to them as "Republican. . . "

I refuse to call anyone Republican anymore. That party is dead and gone. And frankly, if they have a revival they should change their name because the stench will stick for a long time.

And totally partisan. They are more a cult of personality who follow the leader as he flip flops along.
