    Zink voted for Trump but said he doesn’t agree with everything the president does. Zink clarifies he calls himself a “conservative” over calling himself a “Republican.” He doesn’t like Trump’s inflammatory rhetoric. “I prefer common sense in the middle,” he said.

    You fired for Trump. You’re a Republican. You don’t prefer common sense in the middle, you are a Republican that tries to distance yourself from the consequences of your actions by calling yourself a conservative. You did this to yourself, you fucking idiot.

      There are no Republicans or Conservatives any more. That was just the larval stage for their final form: MAGA. The Republican/ Conservative movement is dead. They’re all MAGA whether they like it or not.

      Remember in 2025 when GWB had so thoroughly fucked the country that even Republicans denied supporting him?

      They never learn a damn thing; the party response is to always double down on reactionary policies that shore up their support among the absolute worst people in the US so that billionaires can consolidate their wealth and power.
