The last thing conservatives, including but not limited to Trump supporters, want is a violent free-for-all. In fact, much of the basis of their support for his candidacy was as a push-back against the rise of a merciless overclass that seeks to pit each ethnicity against another. If they wanted to return to the wild west, they would support the flow of drug (and human) traffickers and cartel members over the border. But they don't. In the contest between the wolf and the sheepdog, they root for the sheepdog. <br /><br />Bear in mind as well that the vast majority of Trump voters backed him through gritted teeth - a slightly less poor choice among poor choices - and to some extent a symbol of their exasperation with both parties. He is no sheepdog, but alone among the wolves of the ruling class he at least pretended not to loathe peasantry.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8304928500646903522.post-59930521462082213262021-05-14T19:02:37.691-04:002021-05-14T19:02:37.691-04:00I cant belive the comments on the deaths from Covi...I cant belive the comments on the deaths from Covid after school openings in Texas.
