I keep warning people that Conservatism is also the enemy, but lots of people still want to suck GOP dick and go on about muh Republican-In-Name-Only rather than face the reality of the political landscape.
I'm not sure I'd say conservatism is the enemy, but it's certainly not a be-all, end-all, and is something to be wary of. As to the GOP, I think that was the best thing Trump did. There are now populists in the GOP. It's not as much of an unmitigated disaster as it once was, and I believe there's at least hope to keep pushing it into something more useful.
But, yeah, agreed; a lot of conservative/Republican leaders are also the enemy, and people need to face that.
I view conservatism as basically a containment political ideology that exists to prevent actual solutions from emerging as the left continues its efforts to destroy the west.
"Here, do these ineffectual things rather than defeating your enemies."
Trump took the party by storm because he offered the barest glimmer of what could emerge after conservatism is discarded.
