Never Trumpers might be moderate in tone, but we're certainly not more moderate on policy. MAGA people are quite often to the left of Never Trumpers, advocating more and bigger government. Bill Kristol is hardly a moderate. Neither is George Will or George Conway. The people who are most dedicated to conservative political principles tend to be the ones most anti-MAGA.

I remember coming out of college and going to Republican meetings. While I was a Republican due to the conservative beliefs I had developed in college, I was shocked to find so many Republicans had no strong convictions. Rather, to them, it was "Republicans Good, Democrats Bad." It is those Republicans, people not driven by political ideology, who are the most fervent supporters of Trump and MAGA.
