Good post, emjay. This has been brother against brother, and we're going to have to pick up the pieces after November. There will be a lot of hard feelings, and reconciliation may be impossible for some. But we will have a common enemy in President Clinton, and my final verdict on Rush Limbaugh will be, after Trump's defeat, whether he's focused on healing or picking at scabs. The latter, no doubt, will yield higher ratings, but doing what's right in the face of contrary self interest is the true measure of a man.
There will be little "picking up the pieces" after November. First, we've learned that many who've pretended to be conservative were in fact, variously, power groupies; or cheerleaders being led by backstage players; or deliberately-misleading supporters of the power structure. We will have learned that SOME in our midst care little for the precepts and political thought behind conservatism - they seek a cult leader; someone powerful and exciting. Eric Hoffer's True Believer.
Such persons, obviously, are not to be trusted. And what comes after the November election will be
CHAOS. Kooks nominated to the Supreme Court. Firearms rights, and then rights of Free Speech (to criticize Glow Bull Warming, for example) shut down. The Internet turned into a propaganda channel...for THEIR kind of pro-collectivist, pro-Statist propaganda.
The nation overrun with violent Mohammedans imported into this nation to Third-World-ize it. The better to solidifiy the power base of the Elites.
Firearms, cash money, precious metals, all banned or strictly controlled by government. Auto ownership, travel rights, all restricted under the Glow-Bull Warming auspices. Parental rights destroyed. Government in the home, as it is already in the schools and the churches and private association.
Economic collapse, as it becomes undeniable that this New Freedom cannot work and government keeps printing dollars.
There will be no ROOM in this chaos for hero-worshippers and people easily duped by plants, stalking horses, frauds who are themselves as Leftist as our oppressing enemies.
No, this is where the conservative movement needs to regroup and figure out ways of identifying itself that excludes destructive interlopers such as we've had.
And Limbaugh? He's going to be destroyed in Billary's America; and I'll shed no tears at this point.
