The dayz of “compassionate conservatism” still haunt this nation.
I am to the point that the label “Conservative” has been hijacked and redefined by the establishment to include them and freeze out patriots. If you are not labeled by them as a Conservative, you are just among the “Right-wing Nut Jobs” and whatever else they use to diminish those who are patriots first and to further entrench the power holdings of the “Establishment”.
Progressives of the 20’s were so emasculated by the Wilson era that they had to go into hiding and then redefine themselves as “Liberal” to make the implication of aligning with the libertarian mindset.
Then again, the Democrat Party and the media has changed the template to calling themselves the Democratic Party to make the inference they are democratic and not the actual socialists.
