Have you listened to any of these Republicans who have endorsed her talk? They all think she's wayyyy too progressive for them during normal times, they're not endorsing Harris because she's somehow a conservative now, they're endorsing Harris because their party got taken over by fascists and they're rare spine-filled conservatives.

You're really not making the point you think you are.

Their words don't matter (seriously, people are now going to convince themselves that conservatives have even a smidge of integrity, honesty, or a single non-self serving bone in their body, to make this work? smfh), their actions do, and their actions are to support a candidate that serves their interests best, and anyone serving their interests best (E: only because the other person is saying the quiet parts of their ideology out loud and getting in their way, and absolutely not because they disagree with said ideology), isn't serving yours, at all.

You can try to maintain your cognitive dissonance at whatever cost you wish, but that won't change reality. ¯\(ツ)

Believe it or not, conservatives aren't lying 24/7, they actually believe the things they say. That goes for both Pro-Trump and Anti-Trump conservatives.

If you were actually engaging in good faith political analysis, you'd see Harris is significantly more left wing than McCain or Romney.

Which still maker her center right. But better than the far right.

Which still maker her center right.

Lol no, she and the party are center left, they would not be fighting for unions and universal healthcare otherwise.
