Isn’t he just a conservative? I know he likes to pretend that Trump gave him serious distaste for some of the more extreme parts of modern conservatism, but - considering the blood on Frum’s hands - I’m not buying it. Am I getting him confused with a different Bush speech writer or perhaps a different Iraq war cheerleader?
I refer to him that way because you don’t see a lot of the others out desperately trying to make arguments that conservativism is a logically viable political stance. People like DeSantis know their views are shit; they just don’t care. Frum cares; he’s just wildly wrong.
Imagine not wanting free and fair elections because your ideology has been soundly rejected by the silent majority.
I mean, notorious conservative apologist David Frum is the one who said it out loud:
“If conservatives become convinced that they can not win democratically, they will not abandon conservatism. They will reject democracy.”

Isn’t Frum an ex conservative? He realized what conservatives were really about and then became a Democrat?
Oh gods no! He would never stoop so low:

And we are living through that right now.
Conservatism. It’s in the name. Fighting change, halting evolution of our species.
This is isn’t conservationism though. They’re not trying to maintain the status quo. They’re trying to go backwards.
Regressive? Aggressive regressive?
Yes, I’ve been calling Republicans regressives for a while now.
Nuh-uh! That’s the elites! We’re the silent majority… which is why we had to sabotage the election. It makes perfect sense.
Their ideology is to not want free and fair elections.
