What conservatives fear is “history.” Anything the left has touched since the beginning of time wound up in governments committing mass murders, oppression, the removal of any individual rights and freedoms.
All we have to do is look to Venezuela to see our future. Conservatives see the 600 pound elephant in the room and the direction of the country. The lapdog media tells us we will be more like Europe, which we all know not to be true. You don’t go around buying hundreds of millions of rounds of ammo unless there is an agenda.
Conservatism is the mainstream and until someone is willing to be martyred in the name of conservatism we will continue the slide into the abyss.
