    I don’t think it is wrong to say that a trait of a modern conservative is that they are very gullible and easily conned.

      I feel like what we’re witnessing is Republican politicians slowly realizing they’ve been giving their base too much credit

      It’s been a trait of conservatism since it’s inception. Conservatism in all forms seeks to enshrine the status quo. Conserving nature is a no brainier good thing. Conserving selfish, bigoted human social structures is ALWAYS a BAD thing.
