In reply to the discussion: Can we stop calling Trump Cultists "Conservatives"? [View all]plimsoll
(1,672 posts)34. Are they asking for this?
I understand what you're saying and I agree they're not conservatives, but until they ask that people not use conservatives when referring to the MAGA movement you're running interference for the conservatives and letting them off the hook. If they feel the title is being abused they should say something, not liberals. I'll be the first to support them when they do, but until they push back publicly aren't they saying it's OK to call the MAGA movement conservatives?
Sure there are some, but the silence is generally pretty deafening. Probably because they're afraid of the monster they made common cause with.
