I started to suspect something was up during the Tea Party uprising. I was turning 30 at the time and the inconsistencies in conservatism were starting to become too blatant to ignore. By the time Trump came on the scene I was in a trot away from the far right, and after Jan 6 I was in a dead sprint. Today, I can’t believe I once supported these grifters and con artists. But at least I can say I don’t any more.
