Yes, to the extend that Bush 1, Bush 2, and Trump have supported ideas or policies that are conservative, I've applauded that. With the Bushes those times were few, really.

Trying to pawn off your reflexive support of all things Trump as principled conservatism is simply a dog that won't hunt. In addition to seriously threatening our democracy, Trump is killing American conservatism with the help of those who claim to be principled, constitutional conservatives (e.g., McConnell, Cruz, Graham, McCarthy, Hawley...) who are too gutless to stand against him. They are no less responsible than the full-fledged wingnuts (MTG, Boebert, Gaetz, Gohmert, Biggs, Gosar), perhaps more so. If it's any consolation, I count you among the former and not the latter.
