Mike Pence takes control of the conservative movement by reminding conservatives what conservatism is. He leaves the hate and pettiness to maga.

@sstronaut Well, realistically it is not going to be an overnight stampede. Instead, more than a handful of Heritage Foundation staff have mass-resigned from that organization for abandoning true conservative values and joined Mike Pence's newly established conservative think tank that has been founded on conservative values. That's not necessarily a cause for celebration, especially if you don't believe in conservative values, but it is a positive step for the return to the politics of ideas and ideology instead of cult of personality.

It is nothing more than that, but also nothing less. It's a solid sign of more good things to come.

@MarkPaul Well it's clear that Trump is never been conservative... he's just pro-Trump and anti anything that's not Trump...

Hell, he literally seems more Pro-Putin than he has seemed to be Pro-American if you look at a person's actions and not their words.

And unlike Trump, I've been a life long Republican


I think the issue is that people have confused politics with online political trolling and like Trump for the trolling and that's how they're voting currently...

@sstronaut That's all true and the reason why it is encouraging the tide is starting to turn (back)... slowly for sure but still turning. Pence isn't an innocent bystander by any means. But he does gain credit for (finally) realizing what he was actively involved with during his power-intoxication phase had nothing to do with being a conservative, a Republican, a Christian, or a patriotic American. Too bad he nearly had to learn that lesson by almost getting hanged by the people he thought he was helping to lead.
