In an ironic way these folks could be deemed conservatives, in that they are standing up for the old way. An old way that is passing away because it was a weak shadow at best of the new way.
Problem was, conservatives never conserved anything. They lost the culture wars & served up the Bush family.
As if a legacy imbecile like Jeb was going to do anything of value. Watching Trump gut Jeb was a pleasure.
Sometimes I find you quit clever. ;>)
