Treat it like a redneck pilgrimage, converting the Northeast to conservatism.
I think gospel is going to have to be grasped before “conservatism” will be. I think of myself as a traditionalist, which embraces classic liberalism too. Sometimes moral issues transcend political conservatism to me, but at the same time we can’t be having government be a nanny. It at best leaves the most room possible for private social benevolence.
