    So here is the rub. Sit down with a true Trumper sometime, and show them these sorts of quotes. They ARE voting for this. They DO support this. They think this is the right and just thing to do.

      Have you tried incessantly asking them why? It probably won’t do any good, but it’s easier & possibly more fun than entertaining their position with more thought than they may have put into getting to that position.

        “Moderate conservatives” are triggered by rainbows.

        “Moderate conservatives” think the only crime is petty crime, and it’s committed only by minorities.

        “Moderate conservatives” think basic tenants of feminism are a threat to all of western society.

        “Moderate conservatives” think teaching civil rights history should be banned.

        “Moderate conservatives” need to die. We will move forward without “Moderate conservatives.”
