Jared and Ivanka won't attend Trump's campaign launch, and Murdoch won't back him

i don’t think conservatives - or at least the gop - are interested in details. details are hard, that’s where nuance, empathy, and trying to reconcile different perspectives come in. everything that’s called “left in fighting”.

more over, while i think it must be possible for there to be conservatives that aren’t white supremacists - that difference doesn’t exist here in america.

supremacists will absolutely go for each other’s throats - including actual violence - when they have power ( look no further than the looming house elections ) - but when they are out of power, they all are happy to blame minority groups: poc, women, lgbtq, immigrants, people with disabilities, you name it. ( eta: that’s essentially their entire stated platform right now )

honestly, they want the most change: just look at the supreme court, huge tax cuts for the wealthy, the removal of regulation, etc. it’s the left, and especially democrats who are far too often willing to settle for slow incremental change.
