The party is frankly not the same as it was 10 years ago. It has become so far astrayed from any true values and is truly just the party of trump now.

I disagree. Mind you I'm a super liberal Democrat.

There are some matters where conservatives have a valid disagreement (even if I didn't agree) Such as should we have a balanced budget?

The problem is that the GOP isn't interested in balancing the budget anymore, they only want to give as much money to the rich as possible. The GOP doesn't want to fix the immigration "crisis" they want to profit on it.

The conservatives that actually believe in these values are no longer GOP though, they are now "Rino" or are just Democrats now.

I'm not disagreeing with you. Isn't that alliance with my personal stance. But those who do truly hold those beliefs tended to align with the party. And now there is not even a pretense of it.
