We’re more than four years into this and “conservatives” still haven’t realized that GOP voters are what Fox News (and places further right/nuts) say and not what “small government movement conservatives” think. Trump is what’s on Fox News. That’s how he beat the GOP. He told them what they already knew. While the GOP politicians wanted to feint that way but with humility. That’s why the GOP can’t challenge him. They thought they were creating their own reality when the nutso reality was creating them.
The ones who aren’t part of the nonsense can’t or realize they shouldn’t try to escape it.
