I guess Fred is in his attack mode and “ BRING IT ON “ mode, because ? at least Fred does not have to fake being a conservative, he IS a conservative.

Fred is simply telling it like it is, and without rancor.
It's unusual to find someone who can pull that off.

"at least Fred does not have to fake being a conservative, he IS a conservative."

Absolutely!

It must be easier for him to live with himself than for the others in the top tier to live with themselves...

...and keep up with all of the positions they've taken before! lol
