One could make the exact same claim about liberalism. As much as some people want to pretend otherwise the two sides are not as different as they like to think they are.

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.

And you think his replacement is any better, if not MUCH MUCH MUCH worse?We just watched Trump walk all over those ideals and the right still loves him.Just a few points I believe essential to a healthy society.
- 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
.

Three Problems with Conservatism
Conservatism is the desire to protect the culture as it is from changes that they see as unnecessary. Its ideological opposite, liberalism, desires to make changes (sometimes *drastic* changes) in order to correct social problems that they see as unbearable. In order for our system to work at its best, we need robust, focused, passionate adherents of both sides to send their representatives to DC and have them find our best path, which lies in between both sides. If either side is weakened or shouting away, we either change too quickly and lose established aspects of our culture (see: Prohibition) or we stagnate and fail to keep up with changing ideals and a changing world (see: slavery).
In my experience, those who criticize conservatism as being fundamentally flawed are either a) partisan liberals seeking to demonize their opposition, or b) confusing it with the Republican party.
Hmmm what are you feeding the captive kids in cages at the border Looneybin?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.
Abandoned who? We pay the lazy dregs to sit at home and anyone who is homeless has chosen that lot.I fear nothing but I do despise how readily conservatives can lay their hands on an excuse to abandon Americans to the misery they have caused.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.
Another knee-jerk reaction, based on fear of conservatives.
Conservatives act, based on facts.. Liberals can only react, based entirely on emotions.
So freedom, limited government, no oppression....and more...is not an 'ideology' but is 'reactionology'?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.

God created inalienable rights that have been trampled on by Marxist / Socialists Democrats who wanted to change that (a reaction to freedom and limited govt),
Americans are now reacting to the challenge / threat these Marxist / Socialists Democrats pose.
