I would add that what passes for conservatism these days is also stateism. One look at Bush's 8 years in office (particularly those ones where there was one party control) shows the real face that the republican party has placed on modern conservatism.Agreed, but what passes for Liberalism these days is more about statism than individuality. They lean heavily toward a socialist hive mentality.But not just any conservatives; we need conservatives AND LIBERALS who still believe in individualism, personal freedom and the right of free speech.Elect conservatives. Get liberals out of teaching and end the campus professoriate indoctrination of the youth.
We will see over the next 4-8 years if there has been an actual shift back to what conservatism is supposed to represent rather than what it was but I am not very confident that there is going to be much change for the better. While Trump was taking the presidential election by storm, the same congressmen were reelected with the same platforms.
