Anti-trump, FORMER Republicans (a lot of them were political operative types), so yes, they bend toward right-leaning with a dose of reality.
Conservative in their case means cautious, small steps toward progress, cause that's how you don't break things that already work.

One of the highlights of my week is Rick Wilson LAUGHING at how low trumps poll numbers can go.
One of the guys this week said of Ken Paxton
'How dumb do you have to be, to NOT have an affair correctly?'

A note of caution--for most of the MAGAs in your life, never-trump will mean the same as supporting Stalin, so not necessarily ice breaker conversations there, but if YOU need maybe a different take, that might work for you.
There are some here who are gonna yell at me now; that's ok lol. I love y'all.
