Mrebo, are you a Trump supporter?

All Republicans are Trump supporters whether they admit it or not. It’s his party now.

You’d cry too if it happened to you.

Yes I would.

With that said, the right has been building towards this moment for a long time now. Trump is just the logical conclusion. I don’t think I have to worry about it happening to me because we aren’t the party of Fox News and Breitbart, and everything that comes with it.

Sometimes Trump is said to be a horrible aberration contrary to conservative principles and criticism of him is uniquely justified and different from criticism of past (and future) Republican presidents.

Then there’s stuff like this, that he is the apex of conservatism and the whole movement needs to commit seppuku for the good of the nation.

While Trump is in many ways an abberation, I’ve seen the same criticisms and hysteria before. It was pretty much the same gainst Bush and against Obama.
