Conservative Jerks

Jonah Goldberg: The Ties That Blind : With no other frame of reference, young conservatives are starting to think it’s normal to be jerks.

Everywhere I look these days, I see young conservatives believing they should behave like jerks or like the body parts they cover with those red ties. Because they have no frame of reference, no meaningful political experience or memory of politics prior to this shabby era, they think being shabby is normal and smart.

Funny, I left the Republican party when every conservative started yelling in unison "tax cuts", "Government is the problem", and "free-markets for every thing" because they came of age during the Reagan years. 

Jonah Goldberg's frame of reference.

I guess the last straw was when they tried to convince me that Sarah Palin (conservative jerk before Trump) was fit to be the VP. 

Fox News is and has been full of Palin clones.

A lot of the new generation are jerks acting like Trump but the process didn't start with Trump.
