I need to start making a list of positions I need to support now.

Apparently, I must be in favor of single payer health insurance, men using the women’s restroom, making fun of people who pray in public and now increasing the minimum wage.

These were all opinions that would have gotten someone chastised here on FR just a couple months ago.

The times they are a changin’.

The clever thing about Trump is this -— like Pope Francis, he can say something today that seems like he is in favor of it, but several things can happen:

1) He will walk it back the next day and his supporters will say THAT’s WHAT HE REALLY MEANT.

2) His supporters will say that he never meant what the headline says and he was mis-interpreted.

3) It’s just a negotiating tactic. He’s a businessman and he won’t show his cards until later ( sort of a variation of Pelosi’s “We will have to vote for it to see what’s in it” ).

4) No, that’s not what Trump meant ...here’s what he really meant.

Take your pick, I read variations of the above often.

Indeed.

And the Kelo decision too, you need to support that. And changing the libel laws to outlaw criticism of politicians - we're for that now too. And we support violent government crackdowns on peaceful acts of dissent too.

And people get mad when I label this a post-conservative movement.
