Conservative Values vs. Trump's Supporters: A Deep Dive

It is a common misconception to equate conservatives with Trump/Trumper supporters. While the term 'conservative' covers a broad spectrum of beliefs, those who align themselves with Donald Trump often do not represent the values of true conservatism.

True Conservatives vs. Trump Supporters

True conservatives would find the notion of surrounding campaign buses with armed civilians reprehensible. Many of the so-called conservatives who support President Trump are, in reality, extremely gullible or stupid individuals who are inclined to deny, deflect, or defend any tactics that seem to target progressive or liberal entities.

Denouncing Trump or Being Silenced

Conservatives who have not denounced Trump’s actions and rhetoric can be seen as no better than the so-called 'deplorables.' These individuals either remain silent or argue about irrelevant details to suggest that whatever Trump does, it can be attributed to the Democrats having done something worse. This is a double standard that undermines the integrity of political discourse.

Actions Speak Louder Than Words

When analyzing the behavior of the supposed supporters, it's important to understand the context. For instance, a video allegedly showing a "sideways truck" incident between a Biden supporter's white SUV and a Trump supporter's black truck, does little to support the narrative of violent or aggressive behavior. The Trump supporters in this scenario are peaceful, driving with the rest of the traffic, and not engaging in disruptive or violent acts such as blocking emergency vehicles, using Molotov cocktails, looting, rioting, or destroying property.

Concerns About Democracy and Civil War

Some might argue that the deep divisions within society, driven by strong ideologies, could potentially lead to a civil war. While such a scenario is a legitimate concern, it is important to recognize that the concerns about democracy and the rule of law come from both sides of the political spectrum. It is not just conservatives who have lost faith in the current democratic system.

Behavior and Hypocrisy

When evaluating the actions of both conservatives and liberals, it is crucial to hold everyone to the same standard. The left has also engaged in actions that might be considered contentious, such as undermining the president, falsely accusing him of racism, protesting a legal election, intimidating innocent individuals, destroying property, tear-gassing peaceful protesters, and committing acts of domestic rebellion.

It is essential to avoid hypocritical double standards and address the behavior of all political actors equally. While one might argue that certain groups are more intolerant or racist, it is vital to recognize that both sides have committed actions that can be viewed negatively by the public.

In conclusion, the debate between conservatives and liberals is complex and multifaceted, and each group must be held accountable for their actions. It is the responsibility of all individuals and political entities to support and uphold the principles of democracy.
