    Why are you acting like I said the republican party doesnt win power? I said they do win power and that they broadly dont use that power in the way they were expected to by those that vote for them.

    Truly these wiki links have dispelled my illusion that despite promising otherwise all the neocons were willing to give outside of thier own self interest were token efforts. I have been tricked, been misled and, quite possibly, bamboozled!

    No wait, sorry that was before I actually read them to find out only three are relevant of which only the tax was an actual fulfilment: Bush's fence covered 680 miles out of 1,900, the steel tarrif was undone in a year and a half.

    As for the rest I find myself baffled you thought overseas aids relief, emissions reduction and legal protections for the armed forces comes anywhere close to outwieghing allowing your industrial might to be moved overseas to a strategic rival, especially now its come back to bite you and the rest of the western world hard in this epidemic.

    Everyone approved of the War in Afghanistan. Conservatives and moderates approved of the war in Iraq. Everyone approved of the PATRIOT Act when it came out. They agreed with Guantanamo Bay. Public support collapsed for these things years later.
    Didnt say my criticisms didnt also apply to the democrats did I? Knowingly and otherwise; everyone in positions of power partook in evil save a few notable outliers. Some of those same outliers are rather prominent these days.

    Conservatives never looked to uphold the Constitution.
    You, uh, wanna run that by @Seamus_Fermangh?

    Consider yourself fooled.
    You know the whole "takes one to know one" insight requires the knowing one to have actually learned from being one.

    I really dont think one still engulfed in every fantasy since your initial fooling can lend your experience into identifying current fools.

    Leftists would disagree, and if that doesn't make you rethink your position you are simply in it for the movement not the meaning.
    Less leftists, more democrats methinks. Cant avoid people noticing your party supported Bush and Obama's middle east shithole making so you have to pretend it's stain isnt the evil it actually was, else you'd have to question why you keep voting for thier appointed leaders.

    With the exception of trade, Trump is still giving them everything they would want. Aggressive foreign policy to Iran, tax cuts, devolution of powers to the states, appointment of conservative judges.
    There is another reason why they disagree, perhaps you should actually read what they say.
    I like how you reinforce my point when attempting to decry it. I wonder if you even read them yourself, what with you not actually using thier words to reinforce the point.

    Hell you even touch upon a worse interpretation. screw lip service; maintaining a detrimental trade situation is more important to them than all the pro conservative things trump does.

    Yeah, its sad how easily recent history is forgotten to continue the victim complex of conservatives.
    Ladies and gentlemen we've finally found a victim complex the Dems dont want to sustain in perpetuity!

    Being better than the worst does not inherently make you good. But being better than the rest lets you brag.
