If the choice is between living under liberals in a constitutional republic under the rule of law, or getting conservative policies from authoritarians subverting a constitutional republic and the rule of law, I will live under the liberals and fight within the system.

To do otherwise is to doom everything I care about as an American, purely for short-term policy wins that will mean nothing after everything collapses from a willingness to enhance my personal preferences over the rule of law. That's not conservative, that's just selling out. /2x
