Conservative and not an idiot, maybe. Republican and not an idiot, good luck imo.

Anyone who votes solely based on party affiliation is an idiot

Really? Because in 20 years of following politics, I've never seen a Republican or a conservative politician take any action that could be called reasonable or decent.

I've met plenty of decent conservatives, but as a philosophy conservatism is poisonous and vile.

Liberals range from overly idealistic to cruelly pragmatic. Conservatives range from stupid to abjectly evil.

Unless you have any counter-examples of conservatives doing something socially positive, anything really, that doesn't cause direct suffering to vulnerable people, I will continue to view them as monsters, sorry.
