Nonsence. Conservatism as defined as those who conserve the principals of classical liberalism are on the ropes. We only stemmed the tide during the Reagan era. People want to be taken care of by government these days. No politician runs for office without promising how they will be best at making the government solve your problems.
I agree with you.
Aside from the fact that liberalism possesses psychological trappings and rewards that are powerfully alluring, if not addictive, we have a structural problem.
Those who depend on government largess now outnumber those who fund it by quite a margin. State, municipal, and federal employees, retirees, unions, those in education, non-profits, and corporate entities dependent upon government contracts, all vote monolithically liberal, and their numbers are growing. Even agriculture has been bought off. We have already reached a tipping point. Perhaps this year we will dodge a bullet, but only because the Dems have put up such horrible, flawed candidates. Our victory will be temporary at best.
