text: Der Fuehrer/Il Duce Trump didn't take over CONservatism.  He just took off the patriotic/fundamentalist christian cover to show the depth of evil of the entire ideology.  Every Republican candidate in the primaries espoused all of the same anti-government/anti-human evils as Trump.  He just outfoxed them all with his Nationalist Agenda catering to the racist/bigot crowd more effectively than any other.  Jeb Bush was the heir-apparent of the wealthy Corporatists after rigging the Florida voting system as governor, but Trump went around them directly to the gullible "deplorables".  CONservatism is just Nazism in red, white, and blue clothing demanding blind obedience from all as they loot the nation.  All covered by the usual flag-waving, god bless america, pledge of allegiance(also under god), but, in reality proponents of military dictatorship, genocide, and pyramid wealth.  And so it goes.
