We have Obama now because we elected a "compassionate conservative". We poison the conservative cause when the people who claim to represent it are anything but. Then the masses demand a change away from what was claimed to be "conservative" because of the disaster it was and swing hard further to the left looking for that change.
I believe Trump could be final nail to the conservative cause. He's flying the banner that so many "conservatives" are following that when it comes to its ugly end, it will all be blamed on conservatives and any alternative will look better. It is much like crony capitalism by the left giving capitalism a bad name. The left wins both ways.
Every election year we are told this is the most important country destroying election in the history of ever.
Every election year we hear some version of the lesser evil argument to avoid that country destroying whatever/whoever.
Every election year we are told this most important country destroying election ever is the reason to elect a liberal GOP Prez/Congressman/Senator because reasons. THIS TIME.
Every election year we are told 'next time' we can elect a conservative but that this most important election ever in the history of most important elections ever is too important...as if there were such a thing as an unimportant election.
Every year we are told, impotently, that we will hold feet to the fire.
Every moment until the next most important election ever, no feet are held to the fire because 'it isn't the right time', "You/we should have thought about it before the election" Because "now we have to go with what we have" and besides, "It was the lesser evil".
And as the next election approaches...
