What does any of that have to do with the war in Ukraine? Because both Democrats and Republicans seem to be in agreement about shitting on anyone trying to see it from Russia's point of view, and/or arguing that we shouldn't go to war with them over it; like me, for example.My understanding of it is that conservatives are tired of regretful ex-Democrats saddling on up, and deciding that they should be in charge. The vast majority of said ex-Democrats still hold basically nothing in common with them. The ex-Democrats still believe in liberal dogma, they still hold to leftist values. Despite this, said ex-Democrats sure do insist that in order to get their support conservatives need to change pretty much every right wing policy to be the Democrat policy from about ten years ago. Said ex-Democrats then get increasingly shrill when they are told that their policies are totally incongruent with basic core conservative values and if adopted as they insist would fundamentally shatter the conservative base. This makes ex-Democrats come across as either saboteurs, grifters or opportunists.
