He knows he has to say that or you will eviscerate him. Conservatives lie about their true feelings when they think it will negatively impact them. They have no courage.
I've all but given up on bridging the divide, but something in me wants to find one "conservative" person who is sane and honest but just somehow honestly has a huge blind spot
Doge is the biggest one. Doge is finding a lot of government waste. Sure, it's being a little quick at times, but I'd honestly prefer that approach versus nothing ever getting done which is what's been happening for decades now.
Yikes. I couldn't disagree with you more on this one. And it's barely even trump doing it, it's mostly another billionaire oligarch, so that's an interesting example.
I thought conservatives wanted to mostly preserve what we already have. But trump this term is doing nothing but burning shit down and causing chaos.
