The face of right-wing politics is wedge issues and conspiracy theories. It's not as if people are being judged for believing in a smart conservative fiscal policy because that is no longer something the modern Republican party represents.
That's a gross blanketing.
Yeah, no it's pretty fair assessment of the party. You as an individual may have different beliefs, but your differing beliefs don't represent the party and their rhetoric.
FFS the ex president convinced a mob of people that the election was rigged and they stormed the Capitol Building looking to capture/kill the legislators who were confirming the results. If a republican president of the United States doesn't represent the republican party then who does?
Oh, American Conservatives.
Americans, pleeeeease, say if it's America or not before making such statements.
