So there you have it - the party of racists, nazis, fascists, misogynists, deficit spenders, trade wars, destroyers of the rule of law and supporters of torture.
Those are the real conservative values.
JoeScum et al are discussing this.

(9,426 posts)consider "values"? A president who raves on like a lunatic? A man with 3 marriages under his belt, who cavorts and pays off women he has dalliances with? A group of law breaking grifters such as Pruitt and the tRump family, draining the treasury? I hope I live to see the day when this entire crew gets what they deserve, including Turtle man.

(54,527 posts)He's just using the Foxese definition, which has nothing to do with the English word.
"Conservative" in English means taking a cautious, thought-out, well-reflected look at things before acting. Risk-averse, careful approaches to all actions. In personal life, that would translate into one partner with a stable family, and not risking upsetting the equilibrium with rash financial bets.
That isn't Donald Trump. That is Barack Obama.

(6,240 posts)repubs I know are just a bunch of old angry white folks. Many of them have pensions, Social Security and Medicare. They don't want us to have what they have. They have chosen to be bitter and angry.

(988 posts)Who is JoeScum.. If your referring to Scarborough then perhaps you should tone done your rhetoric.
Joe at least talks about how bad this is for GOP and How GOP is lost, etc, etc.
He could be pushing conservative values like Mitch McConnell.
malaise
(269,365 posts)all over their program while attacking Hillary Clinton. You say ratings and money matter more to all of them than America. You do your thing - I'll do mine thank you very much.

(988 posts)Its amazing you pick 1 or 2 times in the past and that over rides everything done since.
Joe has been a republican that has sided on our side during this tumultous last 2 years.

(11,922 posts)This whole party is going down. They all took money that was laundered from Russia through the RNC and the NRA.
Austrailian TV is running with a story about a smoking gun quid-pro-quo email between Popadopolous and the Russians involving Rosneft. Don't now if US MSM is running it yet. TICK-TICK-TICK.
There. is currrently a post. about this in the latest threads.

(11,922 posts)Bill Mahr's show Friday night, but he was off the hook! He was taking all bets that when t his comes out it will stagger the imagination in it's scope and that they all are going down. I have always respected his opinion on MSNBC, but had never seen him off the chain. The f-bombs were flying. He thinks they are all traitors.
I don't now, Mal... I'm 'bout to loose my mind.

(9,530 posts)The divisions between family and friends are in my opinion only going to intensify and worsen. Political correctness and taking the high road yada yada will have no place in what's to come. I've had my morning coffee yet my old guy crankiness seems to last longer each day this abomination resides in our WH.

(10,721 posts)Going back to Nixon's Southern Strategy and The Powell Memo, this has been the dream. This is the culmination.
This isn't Ike's Republican Party and it hasn't been since the Civil Rights Act was passed.
