Ah yes, a conservative is just a liberal who’s been mugged.
In some cases, yes. Not mine.
Not mine either.
And I’d add, there are some people so stupid and/or insane, they remain liberals. So unfortunately, that dictum doesn’t hold true.
After all, look at 9/11. For a short while it seemed maybe everybody was a conservative - we were attacked and killed by foreign religious-nut scum! But now, they’re back to defending these scum.
