As someone who was raised by conservatives, who voted conservative through most of her twenties, I feel as if I'm well suited to say that the GOP isn't conservative anymore, it's just a cult. I think it's part of why 2016 took me so off guard, because while I'd leaned more liberal in recent years for various reasons, I expected and anticipated conservative values to hold true, and they didn't, and since then I just mostly see cult behavior that I feel like is probably driven by Fox News, and I never know how to tell my parents that 'no, what you taught me as a conservative is this, and also... it's part of why I would never vote for Trump so 🙃'
