Not a conservative so I won't answer the poll but when talking to the conservatives i know the answer is overwhelming no
so many have left and become independent or label themselves moderates or say they are republican but then are quick to say what/who they do not support

I don't follow movements, but hey...they can do whatever they want. It's a free country.

(Or, it's supposed to be.)

I'd add Desantis to this list.

 

[Ginger Ale]

I'd add Desantis to this list.

And Ted Cruz, which is just bizarre but I've heard it more than once.

Righties believe that people are a resource to be chewed up and spit out. Look at what they did to trump when he publicly recommended getting the vaccine that he pushed for while in office.

 

[Luce]

We need to add Boebert, MTG, and Ron Johnson.

There is no conservative movement........I should know,--I am the last surviving one....

 

[BirdinHand]

I wouldn’t consider any of those individuals actual conservatives.

I don't like any of those choices. But that Ron DeSantis governor of Florida I could really support that guy.

Says who?

 

[Grandpappy]

Any Republican will be preferable to the current empty suit.

Both of our two main political movements are deeply toxic and unhealthy. Part of me wishes we could get back to arguing over the top marginal tax rate and health care policy. But another part of me wonders if I'm mis-remembering things and those days never actually existed at all.

Your lean says "moderate". You're a moderate conservative?

 

[Court Jester]

I have not been happy with Republican party since Bush 1 was elected. I understand why Reagan had to pick H.W. Bush in order to unite the party at that time, but I never liked Bush 1 or Bush 2.... typical East coast globalist elitists.

I wish the Republicans would have followed Pat Buchanan. Now there was a conservative who would have really made America great again.

Which policies do you think the Republican party should have pushed?

Says who?

The people in the movement. If they are not the leaders, who is?

Who are the actual conservatives?

 

[Moon]

Who are the people in the movement?

 

[Dans La Lune]

Who are the people in the movement?

MAGA people.

I'd also add Ben Shapiro as a leader.

 

[Pluto]

Considering the choices and then some, the question makes me glad I'm currently not a conservative.

 

[Moon]

MAGA people.

I'd also add Ben Shapiro as a leader.

Where have the MAGA people (whoever they are) claimed that your list represents the “leaders” of the conservative movement, and how did you become their spokesmodel?

There are serious people pushing for and discussing policy, rather than Culture War stuff, but they're generally talking to an empty room.
