Conservatives are in no way synonymous with Trump Republicans. Many of the stalwarts of conservatism have not just disavowed Trumpism, but have worked actively against it. Much of the discussion in modern (Trump) Republican circles would be unrecognizable to self-identified conservatives of 20, 30, 40 years ago.


I think we're in agreement here. Maybe it would have been better to say "republicans" than conservatives. But the point stands that not all Trump voters are Trump supporters that OP identified as racists with below-average intelligence. They may just be voting "not-democrat" on a ticket with two sub-optimal choices.
