As a political philosophy in America, Conservatism is on the wane. Heck, Conservatives can't even win a the presidency unless it involves the last vestige of slavery - the electoral college. MOST Americans have rejected Conservatism and continue to do so. Conservatives will...not...accept...this...fact.
Look at the GOPs numbers - they're shrinking and have been shrinking for DECADES. #GOPWalkAway
I couldn't care less whether today's "Conservatism" is a bastardized form of neo-classical post paleo Conservatism or whatever it was back in the day of Birchers. I just know what "Conservatism" means today and that means heavy doses of racism and bigotry, while paying as little of their fair share of taxes, and being a Trump supporter. Even the changing definition of what Conservative means has Conservatives in a dither.
Conservatives are having a temper-trantum of epic proportions as they realize that they are indeed dinosaurs and at they same time, trying to force their way of life onto the majority in order to make Conservatism take root, like a regular, home-grown radicalized Evangelical American ISIS-like member. Their thinking is so 20th century. Their need for a homogenous society like Russia, is so 20th century. Their need for marriage to be between a man and woman and a hot pool boy and a hot personal trainer is so hypocritical.
Diversity of all stripes is where it is at and where America is heading. Conservatives can't stop progress no matter how many idiotic "trains" which the Conservative jumps upon.
Frankly, I have no use for the Conservative - except to totally publicly humiliate one by pointedly highlighting their asinine thinking and hypocrisy in order to make them an example of how not to think and behave in polite society.
This is a caricature of Conservatism. The only place it is accurate is in the author's egotistical closed mind. The links he used to support his views are liberal ones that reinforce his egregiously erroneous opinion of Conservatives.
If Conservatism is a failed and dying ideology why do 27 of the 50 states have Republican governors? Why do Republicans control 22 state legislatures while the Democrats control only 14? The author of this comment lives in an ideological cocoon and doesn't even know it! He, like a lot of closed minded liberals, thinks Pres. Trump is the Republican Party. Trump is not the Republican Party nor is Trump much of a Conservative!
His opening statement saying that the Electoral College is the last vestige of slavery demolishes the rest of what he has to say. Without the Electoral College the city and county of Los Angeles would determine who wins our Presidential elections. Does anyone here what Los Angeles to decide who are President is? I doubt that anyone does. Anyone except for closed minded egotistical arrogant liberals.
I don't mind a vigorous political debate. However, that is impossible with someone who is as smug and obnoxious as the author of this comment. Nor is he alone in that attitude. I have temporarily returned to the Rant because this comment is so obnoxious, condescending and wrong! If my comment gets me banned from the Rant I don't care.
The state can never straighten the crooked timber of humanity. I'm a conservative because I question authority. Conservative Revolutionary
