Earlier Thursday, Twitchy posted a great thread by @AG_Conservative on the transition of the #NeverTrump crowd from a political movement to a cult. When “true” conservatives start advising Republicans to vote a straight Democratic ticket to “fix” the party, there’s something wrong. Think about it:
So 2020 dem platform is
-no private healthcare.
-kill fully formed 2 seconds from birth babies
-70% marginal tax rates on people they hate
-ban nearly every gun
-also you're racistThis is basically a right wing parody of a dem platform and it's real.

A lot of us were also surprised that Donald Trump, a man with no political experience, emerged as the Republican nominee in 2016 — but maybe it would take an outsider to drain the swamp. And then there was the small matter of the Democrats putting up Hillary Clinton.
So here’s another great thread by The American Spectator’s Melissa Mackenzie that stakes out some territory between the hardcore #MAGA camp and the #NeverTrumpers. It might be something we’d better explore considering the Democrat platform up there that conservatives like Max Boot would have you vote for just to stick it to Trump.
This thread is worth reading. But I'd like to point something out: both the Trump cult and the anti-Trumpists cum "principled" Democrats are relatively small groups.
Most people are pragmatists. They know the Left is made up of psychotic baby killers and vote knowing that. https://t.co/RHTK6yiQFg

There are lots of Trump voters like me:
1. No Trump in primary.
2. Trump wins primary.
3. Psycho grandma wins Dem primary.
4. Better vote Trump to stop Crazypants.It's not like the Left's cultural insanity didn't show itself during Obama. It grew and was militant.

Also, and newsflash, I didn't want McCain or Romney to win in the primary. I thought they were big gov Republicans (AND THEY WERE) and I held my nose and voted for them.
I have been pleasantly surprised by how conservative Trump is. Shocked, really.

And all my Trump reservations are also right.
But as Trump reminds us –> https://t.co/HVagMqMW4l

And it's been rich being lectured by people about how amoral I am.
Give me a break. Romney went back and forth on abortion and that sickens me more than some nasty thing Trump said.
Why is it so hard to get that?

And it wasn't me admiring the creases in Obama's pants.
If you have big vocabulary and wear nice suits and are a-ok killing babies and funding Iran and back-stabbing Israel and calling half the country names and redistributing wealth and killing the economy, I'm voting NO.

Maybe it helps to understand my POV to know that I distrust all politicians. I think they're human w weaknesses.
I'm not looking for a savior. I'm looking for someone to represent my interests as closely as possible.
I wasn't sure Trump would. I was damn sure Clinton wouldn't.
— Melissa Mackenzie ? (@MelissaTweets) February 1, 2019
Also, I found the Evan McMullin thing laughable and still do.
He struck me as a weirdo creep (still does, something is wrong with him.) Why would he be a viable alternative esp since he had no chance?
Just man up and vote for Clinton. Gimme a break.
— Melissa Mackenzie ? (@MelissaTweets) February 1, 2019
Or don't vote. I don't really care.
Everyone is free to vote their conscience.
What I don't appreciate is the sanctimony and then turning around and voting for people who straight up are antithetical to everything you profess to believe in because reasons.

Yup. That's my tribe as well

I didn't vote for him in 2016, but the more the left reveals how insane they ACTUALLY are compared to Trump, the more likely I *will* vote to re-elect him in 2020.

@zanshi1 More are quietly aligning with Trump now, too. Silent majority is growing.
— ✨♥️✨ (@ShannonPoe) February 1, 2019
The sad fact is that the loss of the House, I think, is an even BIGGER wake-up call than Trump's election in 2016.

Yeah, that freshman class is something. Wait, we think we have a James Woods tweet that might fit here pretty well:
Like it or not, this is the new #Democratic party. It probably will bode well for them. The ignorant will always embrace socialism, for what’s not to like? Curse and dance and lie, all for “free stuff,” then expect the working man and woman to pay for it. https://t.co/YDbeeK8ScZ

Oh, he just doesn’t like strong women, like Hillary.
LOL! psycho grandma crazy pants! Very funny, but she's not crazy.
— David Lerner (@EXstrategy) January 31, 2019
I don't think she's right in the head.
— Melissa Mackenzie ? (@MelissaTweets) January 31, 2019
I think she is evil
— David Lerner (@EXstrategy) February 1, 2019
Speaking of evil, we’ve been hearing a lot about it this week (well, with the exception of Democratic senators, all of whom seem to have missed Gov. Ralph Northam’s infanticide thoughts). Excuse us if we don’t join up with pure conservatives like Jennifer Rubin and Max Boot and vote for whichever of the 58 Democrats running is nominated.
