Our conservative views need to be replaced with what new positions?
FWIW, I remember back in the 1970s, when I was in YAF, conservatives were still attacking FDR and his New Deal.

Yes, and by then they could talk to successful 2 term GOP Governor Reagan as he was starting his second attempt for the GOP Presidential nomination and ask him about how he had abandoned that party as a still fairly young man in his 30s as a Hollywood figure a quarter century before you were having those conversations.
RFJ Jr was asked if he’d “do a Third party run” to help Trump win and Biden lose.
His response: “I don’t think President Biden needs my help to lose.........”
Trick is not to think of RFK as a candidate........think
of him as an “insurance policy” to protect our guy Trump.
Dems fear RFK much much more than they fear Trump.
You can’t replace what comes from God’s natural law they will still be there.
They need to be enforced though and that sometimes gets very ugly…like in the sausage factory.
That might have been meaningful in your head but in print, you didn’t say anything.
I don’t believe this for even one second. 😆
Well, the people in charge aren't GOING to leave you alone until you control a State powerful enough to make them leave you alone.
If you think reversal of the revolution, or the "fundamental transformation" if you prefer can be done by a weak government or ten million deer hunters, you probably spent too much time listening to Ronald Reagan.
He weakened the central government so much that the bolsheviks could just walk in and take over.
Reversing the damage is a huge undertaking and will require a very forceful approach - one only an extremely strong central government could carry out.
Me, too. I am tired of Dynasty politicians. NO MORE KENNEDYS, PERIOD. No Bushes, Cheneys, McCains, whothehellever. Done with that. “Dynasty” was a TV program, not my government.
Agree!
Conservatism as movement, failed and failed HARD.
Time to examine why and never repeat the fecklessness behaviors and naivety that led us here.
This is existential at this point. Maybe not for a lot of posters on this board, but 100% for their grandchildren.
What movement are you talking about?
People who are conservative want to vote for the most conservative candidate that can win, who do you think put Republican Donald Trump in office and vote for him?

We crush them by building a giant all-powerful federal government, how do we word that political campaign?
