Conservatism is retreating on almost every front because they got fat and lazy and self-righteous.
Sitting at home in 2012. Ditching candidates on petty crap. Never following-up on defeating all of the gay marriage referendums in 2002. Turning the Tea Party into nothing but a toothless movement that just collected money for a few people. Leaving the internet to be taken over by the left, while depending on a ever-shrinking group of AM talk radio millionaires as a form of audio opium that made it seem like we were totally beating the left because they said so on the radio.
And dont get me started on the “NeverTrump” idiots
All the while the left actually worked for their goals, and kept winning! Now we are actively being censored on various platforms, and being attacked in the streets.
But we better not promote people that share more than enough of our positions to stay brave and keep on fighting against common foes.
The stupidity of the right to sabotage themselves never ceases to amaze me.
Like Mark Steyn has said, the conservative movement hasn’t been moving in decades.
If the left can be commended on one thing, it's that they get an 'A' in persistence, real-world activism and the courage of their convictions - UNlike many conservatives.
I've said before that conservatives could have the economy eating out of their hands and mandate what large corporations advocate, EASILY, with the power of the purse. And yet, I can't count on 100 hands how many so-called "conservatives" I am familiar with who still patronize Starbucks, The Home Depot, and other radically leftist businesses. They just don't care or are too damn lazy to do anything about it.
Oh. So you do welcome neo-Nazis and anti-Semites, then. All for the sake of numbers. And perverts too. Good to know. The only thing is, since G-d hating perverts are part of your coalition, then what are you fighting for? It certainly isn't "conservatism" by any definition that I'm aware of.
The stupidity of the right to sabotage themselves never ceases to amaze me.
Provoking the wrath of G-d seems to me the quintessential way of sabotaging oneself. Of course, I suppose atheist "conservatives" would disagree.
