[The Urban Sombrero]

With all due respect, Mexican Hat, you would not recognize conservatism if it bit you in the ass. The fact that you think Trump's election marks the ascendancy of conservatism reveals what a shallow fellow you are where politics is concerned.

I approve of much of what Trump has done to date, but he is no conservative and he never has been a conservative. You and other liberals of your ilk have shown that you are easily bewildered by a president who enacts some common sense, pro-American policies. I am no Trump fan, but the unwarranted, dishonest, and unpatriotic attacks on this nation's president is reprehensible - and you should not mistake my comment for political hyperbole.

Perhaps you misunderstood: conservatism is on the ascendency was not my point: what was my point was a conservatism of isolationism and a redirection away from concern over human rights abuses, with a foreign policy more friendly to Russia. With all due respect, and do not mistake this for hyperbole, much of the alt right brand of conservatism is reprehensible. Firing the FBI Director investigating him, his associates, his campaign? Reprehensible. With all due respect.
