With Prince Andy circling the toilet bowl, there has never been a better time for Republicans/Conservatives in the People's Republik of New Yorkistan to reclaim the state in the name of freedom and individual liberty. From what the buzz is, Letitia James is being groomed for the Governor's Mansion, but she is at least as far Left whackjob, if not moreso than Il Duce himself. So now it is imperative for Republicans to unite and fight Democrats head on.
Before Republicans can "fight" for anything, they need a platform, and some new ideas. Trumpism failed. Bigly.
So-called "trumpism" is true Conservatism. Not this wishy washy RINO crap you think is the real deal. The majority of NYers want the SAFE act shitcanned and NYC to leave the good part of the state alone!
"Trumpism" is neo-nazi authoritarianism writ large. "True Conservatism" is defined as:
1. Based on moral order - Trumpism has no morals.
2. Conservatives adhere to custom, convention and continuity - Trump unended every custom and tradition of the Presidency
3. Conservatives believe that we need to stand on the wisdom of the ages, and not gravitate to new ideas - But Trumpism seeks to reverse the progress of the ages and take us back to the 1950's, when White Men ruled and everyone else "knew their place". "Everyone else" is not prepared to go back.
4. Conservatives are guided by fiscal prudence. Trump doesn't even know the meaning of those words.
5. Conservatives believe in a class structure, and have no problems with inequity. Trumpism agrees.
6. Conservatives believe that humans aren't perfect. Trump is a prime example.
7. Conservatives believe in private property. Trump does not. Trump believes in "emminent domain". If he can make money off your land, he should be able to take. Trump has used Emminent Domain, or rather tried to, in order to seize privately owned property so he could build condos and make money.
8. Conservatives hold the principle of volunatary community. Trumpism holds the belief in no community. Every man woman and child for themselves.
9. Conservatives believe in the prudent restraint of power. Trump believes there is no point in having the nukes if you're not going to use them.
10. True conservatism seeks to balance the between permanence and change. Trumpism doesn't address either.
