For the record - the GOP's obstructionism and lack of concern towards the damage being done by Trump is increasingly making me doubt the utility of the GOP. They aren't even being conservative anymore. To my mind they're gambling the future of country for political gain. It's incredible to me that the GOP, even while demanding more money for the military, is ambivalent about him leaking Intel to the Russians while in the White House. If this were Hillary the world would be on fire. And it actually was...over f**k emails.
No, the idea of conservatism balancing contemporary liberalism only works when they're both actually that. I don't know what the f**k to call the GOP today. Garbage?
