    I’m not going to judge by presidents I haven’t experienced first hand and I’m relatively young, so I’m going to have to go with Bush Jr

      1 million deaths in an unnecessary war in Iraq is what does it for you, huh?

      You’re right. You’re just as fucked up and horrible as any random Republican.

        You asked me which is my favorite Republican. In my life time there have been two: GWB and DJT. You didn’t say which was my favorite president, just Republican. I chose the better of the two choices, in my opinion. Would you prefer Trump?

        Or are you admitting that you asked a bad faith question? Keep in mind you didn’t ask which one I thought was good, just favorite of a subset

          I’m just trying to figure out what you mean when you call yourself a Conservative. If you’re implying that your favorite president (in your lifetime) would be a Democrat, I don’t think you’re using the word “Conservative” to mean the same thing everyone else interprets it to mean. Most Conservatives in America accuse Democrats of being Communists.

          It’s almost like you’re self-identifying as the caricature of a liberal that Tankies believe in.

            You are conflating conservative and Republican.

            You can be a conservative without being a Republican. I don’t play party politics. Voting for ® without looking at actual beliefs and policies is just as stupid as the “vote blue no matter who” policy.

            To be completely transparent, I don’t have a favorite. The most sane one was probably Obama.
