Conservatives don't get to go on the attack with Trump in office. You used to be the (self-claimed, I don't necessarily agree) party of law & order, morality, right to life, veterans, putting America first, safety + security, etc.
Law & order: your President is under investigation, people have been indicted
Morality: does it not matter any more that the President has had affairs and thinks it is okay to grab women by the X
Right to Life: we're pro life but we think it's okay to lock kids in cages
Veterans: we support war but don't care about our vets when they come home, unless we're at a sporting event and then you have to stand when we bring a vet out and you best stand for the flag
America First: trade, handouts to farmers, anti-union, tax breaks only for the wealthy
Safety + Security: Russia is an enemy, why are we treating them so friendly? Why are you threatening countries every day on Twitter with nuclear warfare?
The Republican Party is not what it once was or what it claims to be. You need to start defending things like this. You don't just get to call everyone you don't like a socialist because politicians emerge on the left with plans to put people to work and help provide basic needs. If we have to defend how we're going to pay for Medicare for all you need to start answering these questions.
