Conservatism is not an ideology it is a reactionology

[citygator]

Hear me out. Conservatism has no ideological tenants instead it is simply a reactionary tribe armed together to oppose changing an acknowledged imbalance of privilege.

“Conservatism is a reactionary movement, and by that I mean that it’s primarily a reaction against actual social movements involving the lower classes, or people on the bottom.” - Corey Robin (1)

Look only as far back as Trump’s takeover of conservatism without any alignment with the claimed tenants of the Republican Party- fiscal responsibility, Christian Morals, free trade. At odds to the core with conservative pseudo principles. (2) These principles are malleable because they are not part of the ideology. There is no ideology or principles save one:

Keep acknowledged imbalances of privilege in place at all costs.

The reactionology is loud now and under attach now more than ever due to the historical imbalances in equity in place in America today than at any other time (3) which requires serious organization and propaganda to protect from the ever swelling voices of the underclass.

At the end of the day conservatism is inoperative, unprincipled, dangerous, (4) and I will add anti American.

Three Problems with Conservatism

It depends on how you define the term "conservatism". Ask a lot of these obedient Trumpsters here, and they'll admit that Trump isn't a conservative. I've even had a few admit that conservatism, as we knew it, is all but dead.

Many of them think of Trump (of all ******* people) as a populist. So on the right, we have two somewhat similar but still different, separate and competing ideologies: Traditional conservatism and Trumpism, a weird mixture of populism, cafeteria libertarianism, cafeteria Christianity, rage, ignorance and paranoia.

Limited government? Fiscal responsibility? Conservative values? **** them. Trumpism is its own animal, and Trumpsters are willing to destroy this whole thing if they don't get their way. These are Right Wing authoritarians, just as we've seen before in history.

That is neither supported by the fact-voided leader of the right not an argument for any ideology. Fail.

Republicans will withhold food from a hundred people on the chance that one of them does not need it while democrats will feed a hundred people on the chance one of them is starving.

You just proved what I said. What you just posted was based on emotion and truthfully, wasn't even a coherent statement.

Please translate that into English for me if you can.

Another knee-jerk reaction, based on fear of conservatives.

Three Problems with Conservatism

1. I acknowledge no privilege. No one I know does. Trump certainly did not.

2. Fiscal responsibility was an argument we lost, decades ago. We gave up on it. YOu won. Slamming us because of that is not cool.


3. Christian mores is a tenant of the Religious Right. Trump while not personally embodying them, at least was not actively opposed against them on principle, so they were able to work together.

4. Free Trade was one camp of conservatives. It was dominate for a time but as it became obvious that their policy did not give the results promised, they eventually lost support. As it should be.

• Freedom of speech
• Self-reliance
• States rights allowing each state electorate to decide how to spend, educate and regulate its activities
• Small federal government
• Accountability for politicians
• Workfare not welfare

Just a few points I believe essential to a healthy society.

We just watched Trump walk all over those ideals and the right still loves him.

Untrue. Even though your side won the election, you still have the overwhelming need to strike out at Trump, conservatives, and the Republican party.

That's got to be some mighty powerful fear you people have bottled up inside, that you can't let go.

Trumpism is basically paleoconservatism, a la Patrick Buchanan.


Your inability to respect that is just you being close minded.

Not that I care about Trump but I don't see that he infringed on what I believe to be important. Care to elaborate?

There was a riot by a minority of the protestors who were otherwise peaceful. This incident was unfortunate but not significant.
