But there were SO MANY dealbreakers before we even got to that point

Until my final breath I’ll never understand how George W. Bush wasn’t a dealbreaker for every future Republican president. And then they voted for Trump of all people.

Like that’s it. We humans have failed evolution.

He kind of was in a way. The 2016 primary featured a dozen Bush wannabes, and Trump just went on stage and embarrassed them all by pointing out all the things they did horribly wrong (war, healthcare, etc), he correctly identified what made Republicans unelectable nationally. People related to that anger.
its always anger or fear, these are the only 2 emotions conservatives can express.
I don’t blame them for feeling either, honestly. But I do blame them for what they do about it.
