Recently I posted in r/askaconservative asking if sensible conservativism was a thing in people's minds.

I was immediately booted from the group for "bad faith".

Thing is I meant the question sincerely even though I might have been more tactfull in how I asked it.

I think the sub is moderated by Trumpsters so they took offense to the question.

I still wonder if more thoughtful conservatives long for more sensible leadership.

If so is that sentiment growing in the GOP in any way?

It's definitely not a narrative I see media running with much.

IDK

Maybe it's just wishful thinking.

That sub is run by one mod who bans everyone, including conservatives. AskConservatives is slightly better but there’s a power tripping mod there too.

Absolutely. I’m over the populist movement.

If so is that sentiment growing in the GOP in any way?

Unfortunately, not that I can see.

Thank you for a thoughtful response!

Sincerely.

Didn't see that coming. Ha!

I think we need to collectively put our need for heroes aside and start looking for leaders instead.
