These are conservative values:

  * The rule of law
  * Moral integrity
  * Respect for traditions and institutions

There's a tension between those values and other values such as a sense of fairness. People could overlook a politician who fell short of these conservative values when there was a perception that these values were holding us back from getting to a more just society.

Today we have a president who openly defies the court orders, engages in blatant corruption, and undermines American institutions. The Trump administration's vehement rejection of all of these values highlights just how critical they really are.

It's time for American conservatives to vote Democrat.
