I think the younger crowd doesn’t quite understand what a Conservative is anymore :/ and some of the older crowd too have lost focus... :p
We all need to set this straight and bring (R) back to the right.. it has been slowly moving left for more than 4 decades now :(
Yep. I know a few people who are liberal on social issues but fiscally “conservative” so they think they are conservatives. We usually get into knock down drag out fights over social issues and because I tell them they aren’t really conservatives at all.
Interestingly, we moved from CA to the Midwest a few years ago (rural town) and the “liberals” here are more conservative than the “moderate Republicans” in CA.
