Hrmmm.
Seems to me that what you want is for conservatives to win.
You see, that's what conservatism at heart is - a desire to stop changing 6,000+ year old customs and traditions (like marriage) on a whim. We want to go back to a time when there was such a thing as personal pride and self-respect. A time when religious devotion was respected, not mocked. A time when liberals -weren't- looking for another millenia-old tradition to subvert and destroy.
If you know people who are sick of the whirlwind of change that's been going on for the last several decades, maybe they should decide to become conservatives. Then they can join in the fight to stop the Left from redefining Western civilization based on nothing more than their own mind-boggling arrogance that their experience outweighs the accumulated wisdom of all manking from the dawn of time until now.
But you probably won't see that, because you hear the Left tell you every day that it's the Right that is "divisive". Apparently, if you want to keep a certain tradition the same way it has been for 6,000 years, you're the divisive one. Those who dosn't want to redefine 6,000 year old institutions, enact a culture of infant death-worship, or use the Constitution for toilet paper are divisive and mean. Those who want to do all of the above, they're "bringing people together" - all in the name of "diversity", of course. Cause celebrating diversity isn't divisive, despite the fact that both words have exactly the same linguistic root and meaning... maintaining the unity we were doing just great with - THAT'S "divisive".
If you want to look for a source of never-ending, stomach churning change, look to the Left, not us.
