Paleoconservatives

It appears that a liberal Democrat has leveraged xenophobic and racial fear to advance Paleoconservative ideas which conflict with Neoconservative who argue the importance of foreign engagement, international alliances, and war. Social conservatives have all but had the wool pulled over their eyes as this candidate wears religion on his sleeve like a new wife, and the idea that this candidate wants to cut taxes and increase military spending to further cause debt has fiscal conservatives looking at his budget and going......WTF.....and finally this idea of libertarian conservatives where he is asking for identity cards, building walls to stop free flows of people, and wanting to question people of particular faiths of their beliefs......no the Republican Party has been exploded into a fascist Paleoconservative Party led by a bumbling fool who can cause incredible damage like saying he would abandon Nato nations and giving Putin a pass. The Republican Party of my youth is dead.

Even I registered as a Republican in 1980, because I had just moved here and was told point-blank that I wouldn't be able to vote in local primaries or local elections unless I did. The Southern Strategy was in full force by 1980. Newt Gingrich had his Faustian bargain, or his Satanic bargain, however you want to look at it. Lee Atwater revisited. Or whatever. The GOP has been using ever tactic to keep an anti-American viewpoint alive, and it has failed...miserably. No one with a brain and any sense of our history is buying what the GOP is selling. Only people who keep it tuned to FOX are swayed. I have never witnessed a more transparent election in my life. If he has done nothing else, Trump has shone a spotlight on the pathetic state of the GOP.
