Trumpism is Republicanism
Trumpism is Conservatism
Through 50 years of conflating and calling out, with dog whistles, conservative pundits, Koch think tanks, and Fox News hosts; the Conservative values, the Republican world view and Donald Trump are born of the same soul.
Black Lives Matter = Cop Killers
Latinos = Illegal Rapists
War = Peace
Torture = Homeland Security
Trickle Down = Economic Opportunity
Women = Right to Life
Guns = Freedom
LGBTQ = Fear
Islam = Terrorist
Christianity = Homeland Nationalism
Climate Change = Hoax
Republican values built Trump. Now Republicans get to own Trump.
Trump’s racist, misogynistic, xenophobic tweets, bellicose world views, and narcissistic fascism are the Conservative Party, the Republicans today.
Thoughtful Conservative Pundits™ will try and separate Conservatism from Trumpism. Publicly disowning Trump’s pronouncements, whilst wishing for a more Reaganisque mask to present their divisive values.
My point:
The stinking, rotting, fetid corpse of Donald Trump needs to be hung around the necks of the Republican party — every candidate, every voter, every day.
Trump will lose come November.
But every Republican candidate and Conservative voter — the Senate, House, the State and Local races — all Republicans need to be tied to Trump.
So, I say let’s go there. Together, united. With compassion, honesty, clarity and the facts. Every. Day. Unrelentingly.
Tie Trump to today’s Republican and Conservative party.
