What does that make those of us who didn’t vote for Reagan, didn’t vote for Bush, and didn’t vote for Trump? Chopped liver?
If I do buy into the philosophy of conservatism - if I am against change by default - but in practice I don’t support Republican policies, does that mean I am not really conservative? I will admit that it amounts to a form of no-true-Scotsman logic, but that isn’t a fallacy if it is true. And by claiming that conservatives are largely hypocrites in practice, you are sort of legitimizing my opinion that I’m not the problem, and they are.
You don’t get to bash all of us at the same time.
