It’s just like all those conservatives that “left” the GOP because they don’t want to be associated with Trump and called racists. The problem is, they still all vote pure Republican down the ticket and support regressive and racist policies, so did they really leave the GOP, or are they just arguing in bad faith?
And actually, I’d argue that they’re making the problem worse, because that leaves the GOP primaries in the hands of the nut jobs that like the way the party is headed…
Just because in my earlier years I considered myself a conservative, I’d argue that there are many that are simply ill-informed, ignorant, or misguided (at least, that was my experience).
If they’re still conservative after being exposed to and considering arguments from both sides, then they’re either arguing in bad faith or practicing “ostrich logic”

There hasn’t been a single time in the past 3 decades where a republican didn’t argue in bad faith.
