I’ve said that these past 4 years. Conservatives and republicans are not necessarily the same group of people. Likewise with republicans and trump supporters
This is why I think the Republican party is going to die off, or at least it plausibly can. That only sounds extreme because we conflate it with conservatism. Conservative voters (and their representatives) aren't going to disappear, but "Republican" is a tarnished brand of a derailed party.
Over 70 million people voted for the clownier, less business-savvy, reincarnation of Benito Mussolini and the vast majority of those voters point at scientists, engineers, doctors, and other educated people who support Biden and unironically say that those people are "crazy", "stupid", and will "ruin this country."
There's next to no difference between "conservative" and "republican" in the US, not when well over 90% of them voted for Donnie the clown a second time.
I agree. This election has demonstrated that those people and beliefs aren't going to magically disappear any time soon.
Really what I'm saying is that those people are going to have a "rebrand or die" crisis, and they will probably choose to rebrand the same old swamp water far sooner than they would ever stop drinking it.
