“Don’t trust power...you know, conservatism.”
This part is where you’re trying to deceive.
No deception there at all. Conservativism is adhering to the Constitutional structure of our nation. The Constitution very explicitly limits the power of the government, because the Founders knew that you can’t trust power, it makes people bad.
It boils down to George Washington:
Government is not reason, it is not eloquence-it is force! Like fire it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master; never for a moment should it be left to irresponsible action.
If you can read that and still revere police you’re on the wrong side. Of everything.
