There never really has been a conservative movement. There have been two presidents, Calvin Coolidge and Ronald Reagan who could be be considered conservative. That said, both enacted laws and policies which could hardly be considered conservative, like tariffs and massively increasing the debt. But the actual downfall of the conservative movement as defined by Reagan began with his successor, george the first. Newt put a bandage on the wound inflicted by bush but then george the second ripped that bandage off with his guns and butter spending and bailouts for institutions that had no business being bailed out. The betrayal of the tea party candidates twisted the knife and then Trump came along and put was left of the movement on life support. There is very little resembling even a sham movement anymore. It's been described as an industry and that is a better term for it. We are in the age of celebrity politics and click bait journalism. The right embraces these high profile defectors because ever since obama they have craved media stars of their own. Trump is running a campaign completely on that notion, bragging about polls and how much he is loved while offering no actual solutions for anything. And what about us, the regular person who has tuned out all the noise and just wants to be left to their own devices? To worship God a raise a family without a bunch of interference from demented crackpots and demonic leaders? Well, as the man said, we have been made to care. A time for choosing. It's here, and it's real. Choose wisely because you're not likely to get too many more bites at the apple.
