Are You a Conservative?

[gipper]

Trump ruined him. Pretty pathetic

Absolutely. Trump has really fucked up many Americans, particularly liberals. They now fully support censorship, big pharma, constant war and the MIC, and more……..

 

[Blues Man]

The definition of conservative didnt change, its just that most people calling themselves conservatives, arent conservatives. They have no problem with huge deficits, attacks on rights, etc. as long as their guy is doing it.
Just like liberal.

Which is basically EVERY single so called conservative since Coolidge.

Asking a Conservative or a Liberal to define who they are is a pointless pursuit.....
Only thing more pointless is asking a Libertarian to define what they are...

 

[Baron Von Murderpaws]

NO.
I'm not any party. I consider myself an independent in all respects.

BUT...............
my current views and political aspirations coincide with the philosophies of the Libertarians.
But I'm not akin to or linked to any political party.

Exactly Ronnie Ray gun swore up and down he was a "small government" guy.

 

[Harpy Eagle]

There are social conservatives and there are fiscal conservatives. The former is all that has been elected in the past 100 years, the latter we have not had in the White House since a guy name Calvin was there.

Depends on how you define it. But today’s definition of conservatism is certainly different than it was a couple of decades ago. Here’s a clip describing the differences.

I'm a fiscal conservative.

 

[Biff_Poindexter]

I'm a fiscal conservative.

I think you are a "whatever owns the libs" conservative.....definitely not a fiscal one....or else you wouldn't keep Trump's dick down your throat so much

 

[Harpy Eagle]

I'm a fiscal conservative.

You do not even know what the term means

 

[rightwinger]

Conservative used to mean fiscal responsibility, family values, a global foreign policy.

Todays Conservatives are cut taxes while not cutting spending, conspiracy theories and an assault on democracy.

 

[Blaster]

I'm better educated than you are and I can assure you I know the meaning.

You seem obsessed with Trump.

I'm usually not a fan of the legions of randos who turn a camera on themselves and slap their hot takes on YouTube, but he's largely correct. That could be because this is the channel for The Bulwark, which is a respected, right-leaning news source.

The Bulwark - Bias and Credibility

RIGHT-CENTER BIAS These media sources are slightly to moderately conservative in bias. They often publish factual information that utilizes loaded words

I doubt you have a PHD or even a college diploma.

You nailed it...until that last sentence.

Today's "conservatives" (whether real or imagined) are first and foremost ANTI-liberal. They've been trained well to hate "the other"

My last sentence was just fine. You are a perfect example, as a matter of fact

Most of the hate comes from the left.

No. They're willing and even eager to cut spending...but ONLY on things they consider or are told are liberal issues

Hating the enemies of our Republic is no vice.
