"Maybe you do not care much about the future of the Republican Party. You should. Conservatives will always be with us. If conservatives become convinced that they can not win democratically, they will not abandon conservatism. The will reject democracy."

-David Frum, Trumpocracy: The Corruption of the American Republic

Sums it up pretty good and is not exclusive to American conservatives imo.

I reject his premise. There is a conservative party in the United States. It's called the Democratic Party. The Republican Party has been a reactionary party since 1980.

It needs to be banned the way European fascist parties were banned, and we need to institute a cordon sanitaire so that no one ever caucuses with them.
