If we’re being completely honest, conservatism failed. Nothing is really left to be conserved because it’s all been deserted and pissed on by leftists with the help of weak so called “conservatives”. Our only hope is someone like Trump coming in and completely tearing the establishment down. Next to that, the only option is secession, even though the Yankees tried to destroy that right too.

A conservative government exists to protect its citizens individual freedom, to form as small a federal government as possible, to limit taxes as much as possible, to maintain fiscal discipline through a balanced budget, to ensure the rule of law, to promote the national defense.


You defined a conservative Government, but what is a Conservative? In other words what in particular makes a person a conservative.

Republican Party has not been conservative since George Bush senior was in the white house.

I mean they certainly aren’t fiscally conservative anymore. Can’t really make that argument with a straight face after Trumps first term.


lol

You think W was fiscally conservative?

The last time the Republicans were fiscally conservative was 1994.



If you're arguing the people who have pretended to care about fiscal conservatism have never really cared about fiscal conservatism (at least in the last 30 years, as you say) you're not really going to get any push back from me.

I might argue Trump has taken that up a notch, which was really my point.

Conservatism is a cultural, social, and political philosophy and ideology that seeks to promote and preserve traditional institutions, customs, and values.
