    Just don’t respect them when Putin pays the taliban to be hit men. Jesus I don’t want to label myself as a conservative anymore with all the ****ing crickets that also call themselves as such. This is a level of cognitive dissonance that is shameful. Just watch me give you an example @Commodore @MojoMan @bigtexxx

    They don't give a rat's ass about service men unless they can use them to score political points

    Their president has been metaphorically kneeling to the anthem for three years.

    It’s my go to post whenever some pro Trump person posts something about disrespecting the flag. This was from a Super Bowl Party year.

    which issues are you conservative on exactly? I feel you never should have given yourself this burden.

    Pollos is still surly due to the liberal paradise of the CHOP being disbanded!

    If you really want to know, put in the effort. Not my job to do your hw. If it helps, there’s a thread from this week I outlined a couple points pretty clearly.

    in this day and age where trump and his supporters think that they are conservative i would say labels are pretty pointless. just judge individual issues on their own and ignore the people focused on labels.

    trump is an authoritarian nationalist...not a republican and definitely not a conservative.

    He's also mentally unstable, a pathological liar, the poster boy for narcissism, clearly in declining physical and mental health, corrupt, and some things I'm sure I'm forgetting. Oh, plus you described him very well politically. Now I remember. He is poorly educated. I've forgotten more history that he has floating around in that befuddled head of his, and that's only one subject he's doesn't know. There are clearly more. That, and he is completely devoid of empathy.

    Then why does he appeal so much to those who identify as Republican or Conservative? He is currently the face of the Republican party, and his support among Republicans is at over 90%.

    Because the Republican Party is no Longer the Conservative party?

    It’s just a bunch of cranky people tired of losing at life. It’s hilarious that the same people that were the “tea party” support the most financially irresponsible president of all time.

    Even the ones with family/friends that are servicemen and women or lost buddies in skirmishes?

    Here's the thing with the flag deal - at first it was kneeling then during the riots we see people having their flags taken from them.
    Goodness knows what happens to those flags once confiscated - thrown in the trash? Stomped on?
    It's a slippery slope - next it will be burning them and we all know how we feel when we see religious fanatics overseas doing that.

    You can make a slippery slope argument about anything to convince people to remove first amendment rights.
