    I stand by my conservative values. Most of the conservatives that think like me are Democrats now

      Look, the best way to decide what you mean here is just to tell us your favorite Republican President.

        I’m not going to judge by presidents I haven’t experienced first hand and I’m relatively young, so I’m going to have to go with Bush Jr

          1 million deaths in an unnecessary war in Iraq is what does it for you, huh?

          You’re right. You’re just as fucked up and horrible as any random Republican.

            You asked me which is my favorite Republican. In my life time there have been two: GWB and DJT. You didn’t say which was my favorite president, just Republican. I chose the better of the two choices, in my opinion. Would you prefer Trump?

            Or are you admitting that you asked a bad faith question? Keep in mind you didn’t ask which one I thought was good, just favorite of a subset

      Correct, which is further dragging the Overton window to the right. Everything conservatism touches is tainted, and ultimately destroyed. It is a self-defeating philosophy.
