Trump: Not a "Conservative" but an "Anti-Progressive"

[Holy Unifying Centrist]

Pat Buchanan is correct. I think that's part of why Trump generated such enthusiasm from young white males fed up with SJWs. The graph is from a survey of something like 100,000 high school students in 47 states.

How come Trump did hot garbage among young whites? He only won them by 4, whereas generic republican won them by a bigger margin. Clearly he isn't doing that fantastic w/ them!

And that Gen Z survey means garbage lol. They aren't 18 yet and I doubt the methodology. I was a Republican until I was 17 (well, technically I'm still a registered Republican).

Atlas libtards need to stop denying the obvious truth: Gen Z youth are literal nazis (including the Jewish).

Trump is a self-loving right-wing populist and protectionist with an authoritarian streak. Not a conservative. Reagan and Dubya were conservatives, Trump is not.

The significance of this is that future GOP Presidential nominating contests will not merely be a test of "Who's the REAL conservative?".  Republicans are no longer going to say, "If only we nominated a REAL conservative, we'd have won."  Those days are past.

Yeah, now it's a test between who is the most batsh**t insane. That's why Moore won in Alabama, Stewart nearly won in Virgina, and Joe Arpairo is surging in the primary.

You may like where the GOP is going, but there are a ton of millenials like me who have gotten completely turned off by the GOP partly because of Trump.

So what's your point? Is there some set of actionable suggestions you'd like to see the GOP take or have you simply dropped by to grind an axe?

The GOP has to reject most of Trumpism, allow more moderates into their party (stop trying to run rightwingers in every single damn election) and stop being so reactionary. This likely won't happen until two big election cycle losses in a row, and it will possibly take even longer.
