Sure, but Flynn was plenty defended and people calling it a "hitjob" getting him resigned.

At some point you need to start including Pence, Preibus, Chaffetz, Mcconnnell, etc. While I fully agree that the Venn diagram doesn't include all conservatives in the reality-rejecting circle, there is a too large of an overlap to ignore.

I'm not including Miller and Bannon in conservatives, because they're clearly motivated by something else/worse.

But it's like Christians in America, or radical Muslims. Terrible things are neither inherently Christian nor Muslim, but it's not too difficult for atheists to lump those traits to bad actors.

TL;DR: I agree, to a point.
