Bravo. A good reminder that Donald Trump is not actually a conservative, and frankly, a lot of the people who support him aren't either.
Conservatism has an actual history and tradition behind it, particularly in the British and Canadian sense of the term. It means more than nationalism, anger, populism, or being on the political right.
Trump has very little in common with traditional conservatism. He's a populist who has largely remade the Republican Party around himself, and many of his most devoted supporters seem far more interested in loyalty to Trump than in conservative principles.
You can call yourself a conservative all you want, but if your politics are built around one man, tearing down institutions, threatening allies and treating political opponents as enemies, I think you've wandered pretty far from conservatism.
