Of course Conservatism is dead. Donald Trump is the President.
Conservatism - small government, low taxes, Judeo-Christian values, free trade - is out. We’re a populist, nationalist protectionist party.
Trump’s philosophy - and it’s clearly popular - is that government is good when it helps YOU, not the other guy.
I’m with you on that. Beware a Government stating we are here to help you no matter who is at the helm
