A poll for Conservatives

But not only. Actually anyone is welcome to take the survey.

The question is simple. Are you happy with the current direction of the Conservative movement in the US?

Just a few pointers. Among the leaders of the Conservative movement, we should probably start the list with:

Donald Trump
Steve Bannon
Nick Fuentes
Tucker Carlson
Alex Jones

I'd also add De Santis to this list, and oh, Ted Cruz as well, which is just bizarre but I've heard it more than once, so why not. Also Boebert, MTG, and Ron Johnson.

Now, one could argue that technically none of the above are real conservatives.

Which brings me to my next question. Who are the actual conservatives? And does such a species even exist any more?

Gov. Larry Hogan in Maryland, Sununu in New Hampshire, maybe? Also, the governor of Utah, the one who vetoed the anti-trans-athletes bill. He got overridden, but still, he was trying to act from a place of kindness. People in the Lincoln Project...?

Bannon is big on the internet - I wouldnt consider him a 'mover' in the real world - although I have heard of him which does give him a slight edge over whoever Nick Fuentes is.

I would add DeSantis to the big list - if I were a lefty I'd consider him more of a threat than Trump - but it's probably a little early for all that.

Tucker Carlson - having a conservative voice being the most popular option in his time slot among democrats would probably be considered a positive thing to most conservatives.

I don't think the momentum is there for liberal-approved conservatives - seems likely there will be fewer Romney/Cheney types after the next election, and same goes for the round after that.
