Apparently, I’m A “Cuckservative” For Not Supporting Donald Trump

What is a Cuckservative? Let’s take a look at Wikipedia

One definition of cuckservative is a conservative who sells out,[10] having bought into all of the key premises of the left,[11] and is enthralled with liberal values.[6] According towhite supremacist Richard B. Spencer, the president of the National Policy Institute which has been designated as a hate group,[12] the term is a shorthand used to express “a certain kind of contempt for mainstream conservatives”.[13] The phrase is similar to “Republican In Name Only” (RINO).[14] Social conservatives who use the term condemn what they see as Republicans running on socially conservative values to appeal to their base during an election cycle, only to use vote trading to compromise on those values while in office.[13] The term cuckold has a long history as an insult implying that a specific man is weak and emasculated, and may even feel pleasure at his own humiliation because ofsexual masochism. The term cuckservative similarly implies that certain male Republicans are humiliated through their actions while feeling thrilled and excited from their own degradation because of the abandonment of their own moral standards.[3][15]

Those in the self-described conservative media targeted by the cuckservative slur along with various moderate and left leaning news sites decried the term as an anti-Christian,[4]racist slur[11][16] and a rallying cry for white supremacists and neoreactionaries.[17] Some observers, such as the Southern Poverty Law Center, say that the term’s usage has been rising among white supremacists in the United States.[3]

So, apparently, it was another term for a RINO, for someone who sells out conservative principles. However, the term itself has been co-opted by the Trump supporters to denigrate those who refuse to jump on board the Trump train. And, apparently, I’m now one of them

Can anyone tell me when Trump has talked about supporting the Constitution? Or re-instituting personal liberty and freedom? Shrinking the size and scope of the federal government? The only time he talks about leaving things in the hands of the States is when it seems as if he just doesn’t want to talk about the issue, so he’s deflecting. If anyone is a “cuckservative”, a term I loathe, it would be Trump supporters, at least those who say they are conservatives. Can’t be Trump, because he has never really had any conservative leanings. At best, some squishy Republican ones. He is most assuredly a RINO. If anyone wants to call John McCain or Lindsay Graham RINOs, well, Trump is way worse.

Someone please explain to me what Trump’s conservative cred is. Explain his Constitutional and personal liberty leanings. I’d love to hear it.
