I
have said it before and I will say it again.
Trump is not a Conservative.
Today’s Republican Party is not conservative.
True conservative principles, based on libertarianism, include
* Individual Freedom,
* Limited Government,
* Human Dignity (every person should be measured only by the content of their character), and
* The Rule of Law.
Trump and today’s Religious Right controlled Republican Party wants the government to limit individual freedom and to tell citizens what they can read, what they can think, who they can love, and how they can act and behave based on extreme fundamentalist Christian beliefs, which are themselves contrary to true Christian teachings. Today’s Republican Party supports banning books, censoring history, and suppressing the teaching of anything that does not conform exactly to fundamentalist white Christian nationalist propaganda.
Trump belittles every person who is not a healthy American-born white heterosexual male, who does not kiss his ring and arse, and who challenges his delusions of personal infallibility and superiority. He encourages and empowers his followers to openly embrace their hatred, prejudices and racism.
Trump believes he is above the law and cannot be held accountable for his multitude of crimes and misdemeanors (and felonies). Today’s Republican Party agrees and also believes that the rule of law and being held accountable applies only to Democrats and to those who do not bow to the Republican Party. It is truly the Party of “do as I say, not as I do”.
Today’s Republican Party does not care one ounce about the content of one’s character. They continue to support and promote candidates who are crooked, corrupt, serial liars, ignorant, racist, bigoted, fascist, etc., etc. – Trump being a prime example.
