Principled Conservatives like to slam “their own side” due to principles.

But if they are driven by principle, how do they have a political side?

If and since they don’t have a side due to principles, why do they attack the side closer aligned with their policy principles?

Principled Cons reserve their harshest criticism for politicians who take the most media heat which is mostly against Republicans.

Odd because those Cons like to whine about media power yet they follow along. They claim to be driven by principle yet they get influenced by media.

Principled Cons (PCs) claim to be conservatice on policy and therefore aligned with the GOP which is more right-leaning than Democrats. Yet, these PCs enable Democrats to drive Republicans from office and to implement anti-conservative policy. What is principle in this?

Principled Cons claim to be conservatice on policy and therefore aligned with the GOP which is more right-leaning than Democrats. Yet, PCs are the wing of the GOP easiest and first to rollover on policy and politics when the going gets tough. So what is Conservative about them?

The NRO/DCX crowd of the GOP/Con movement says it’s insane how Republicans are obsessed with one man; Cult45 they call it. Yet those guys helped lead to GOP losses in 2018/2020 just because they don’t like one man whom they say should not dictate a political party.

Clowns!

PCs enabled the country to move left on courts, border, immigration, taxes, energy, social issues, religious freedom etc because they dislike Trump and undermined him. Those guys - who burned down a political party due to one person - say a party should not center on one person.

Illegal border crossing is highest in 20 years while deportations by ICE last month was the lowest on record.

If you are a legit conservative, how is this price worth just to get rid of Trump?

By undermining him last year, you helped Biden win which led to these results.

Principled Cons are most responsible to enabling Dems to win and to implement anti-Conservative policies.

PCs are also the first to fold to Dem Media talking points when the GOP is in majority office; thus making it difficult for the GOP to implement Conservative policies.

Principled Cons preen mostly in a way that aligns with Dem Media and especially on politicking items; meaning, the place where if you loss you don’t have the power to implement Conservative policies. Ben Shapiro takes strong stances on some policies but he folds on politicking.

The fault line in the GOP is not Cons versus moderates on policy. Every political party moves on policy over a period of time. The fault line is process, the politicking part of politics. A minority in the GOP is willing to battle; a majority folds to Dem and yearns their praise.
