    How does one escort these people out of the “conservative” label exactly?

    See Al Franken, Anthony Weiner, Andrew Cuomo… It’s pretty easy to kick people out of your party if the will is there.

    Conservative outlets often do the same with us, by the way. They lump people that simply want equality with the crazies that want to destroy Christianity and put Caucasians in a subjugatory position in society. Yes these people exist, even if they are currently inconsequential.

    The right wing crazies are in Congress.

      The problem is it isn’t just a party. You abolish the Republicans, the crazies will just come back as the Pants-On-Head party or somesuch. The crazies are organised, and they will organise outside of the Republican party if need be. Hell, Trump has already threatened to do so.

      You do however make an excellent point about the crazies in congress, and I’m not saying we should ignore the damage they are doing. I’m just saying not everyone in the conservative sphere is a certified MAGAt, even if the latter does have big numbers.

        If your still in the conservative sphere post maga. You own it. You are maga. There is no separation. Maga isn’t antifa where it’s a decentralized unaligned group of protestors, maga is in the halls of power, it’s passing laws, the people you vote into office are voting yes.

        There is no distinction and won’t be one for half a century at least.
