Conservatives often slept through the woke revolution only to awaken to a country their apathy allowed to transform into one they no longer recognize. Can they finally breathe fire?
Conservatives and traditionalists are often exasperated at the ongoing woke cultural revolution in their midst.
How can America be turned upside down, as it is, when there is little public support for the things happening around us?
They don’t see much backing for the current wide-open borders and unchecked illegal immigration, yet it continues.
Conservatives feel that most Americans reject the trend of biological men dominating female sporting events.
They fear American jurisprudence has become now vastly weaponized and warped.
Certainly, Donald Trump will be more likely indicted by a politicized New York City prosecutor for supposedly overvaluing his net worth over a decade ago than would be a current violent street criminal clubbing a subway commuter.
In 2020 torching a federal courthouse or massing at the White House grounds, in efforts to get at the president, earned either few arrests and little or no jail time. In 2021, if one entered the Capitol and illegally paraded around like a buffoon, he could get a five-year prison sentence.
Traditionalists feel that sky-high energy prices, out-of-control urban crime, a depressed economy, high interest rates, and a politicized FBI, CIA, Justice Department, and Pentagon are all needlessly self-created messes.
How then did these extremist policies that have little popular support become institutionalized?
Conservatives, by their nature and unlike the Left, are more inclined to accept existing institutions rather than to radically alter or destroy them.
They were asleep at the wheel in 2020, when left-wing-funded lawsuits radically transformed Election Day in many states into a mere construct. Some 70 percent of the electorate in key precincts voted by mail or early...

Right on!
You are right. People should already be in Survival Mode.
“Someone suggested the use of the word *heterophobe*.
I like it”.
I like it, too and am going to use it.
“They are heterophobes. Use the term”.
Right on!!
I love that guy. He is my favorite pastor now.
Bfl
Conservatism is dead.
The forces that will defeat the red guards and alter or abolish the forces in power, and then institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness, will not be in the least conservative.
I don’t believe that. I believe things go in circles, and there will be a conservative President again, in response to the obscene liberalism going on now. 2016 would have been the natural conservative cycle, but Trump co-opted it. He got the conservative vote but didn’t rule like one. Things like the debt and another real war will eventually force reality back on us.
Absolutely. Start with Amazon, replace it with eBay and Craigslist. I did back ten years ago when Amazon bought Whole Foods, which I couldn’t stomach, pardon the pun. Never looked back, and don’t even click their site for reviews anymore at this point.
The farmer’s markets have mostly gone to junk wares but I still try to only buy organic or at least non-GMO when I go to the grocery store. Only spend your money on wholesome things, and get off the pharmaceuticals. If you just eat right and take vitamins a lot of ailments go away.
We may not mean the same thing by “conservativism”.
There are forms of conservatism which abhor individualism/libertarianism. Adopting a system of “every man for himself” while being ruled by a powerful elite that was very effective at joint action has led to disaster.
To “conserve” or better, to recover what has been lost, is going to require very powerful common action to uproot and then to disempower our rulers, claiming our rights set forth in the Declaration of Independence.
National Review and the Heritage Foundation are not going to get the job done.
The supercomputer simulators are likely showing various forms of revolt in the future. Why do you think they hiring and literally arming ~100k new IRS agents? Not to squeeze a few bucks out of people, but to start dealing with the people who don’t want to pay anything, at all. CBDC is another way to control what people do with their money. Attempts like that of taxation without representation will lead people to conserve, again, at some point.
Common sense right there. Also, question your doctor. Make them earn their money and employ what they have learned and experienced. It is good for you and for them. We all have to expand our thinking and avoid groupthink at all costs.
