Good question. What's a "Conservative" today? A mouth-breathing idiot who votes for every rapist like Trump he can find? A corrupt senior official like Bill Barr who never missed an opportunity to cover up crimes made by his second pope, Trump? Or perhaps a senator-cum-podcaster like Ted Cruz, who lies nearly as easily as his lead dog Trump? Aren't THEY "Conservatives?"

In my view, for the time being "Conservatism" is dead. It's become an anachronism. Time to put it in the closet with the buggy whips. The centre-right coalition that used to be sane Republicans has been scattered to the wind. Republican integrity is now a contradiction in terms. Yet ALL of today's despicable Republicans claim to be "Conservatives." Aren't they lying daily to themselves, their constituents and their donors?

Conservatism is DEAD! Long live anything with integrity that follows, but don't hold your breath. Liz C. & Adam K. and their ilk will be politically homeless for at least a decade, I'd guess.
