You are correct
My description of your thoughts is Pragmatic Conservatism. We go forward (yes forward) with what we have, with what is possible.
We won’t bitch and moan about ideological purity prohibiting actual living. We don’t pat our selves on the back for worthless action that are actually detrimental to the future. We don’t constantly spout sanctimonious drivel that accomplishes nothing but self delusion. We act responsibly and move forward.
thank you
