What makes someone a “Conservative”?

Now you can read motivation? Interesting

I am learing a lot here
Sometimes they tell you their motivation. Sometimes it’s inferred

If a cop gave speeding tickets 90% of the time to black people, and 10% of the time to white people, you might infer their motivation.

90% of prisons are filled with men. Is the motivation to imprison men? Toddsterpatriot
 
So cut the crap.....I don't need another gubbermint gimme program. I PERSONALLY cannot afford it. My paycheck has been cut more than what it says.
You can’t keep pace with inflation because your employer has restricted wages while taking more profit
 
In my opinion since this is an opinion forum and facts rarely matter:

1) Limited Govt. States and local rule over Federal rule when possible

2) Personal responsibility over Govt is here to help

3) Support of Free Markets. Reasonable taxes. Reasonable regulation

4) Traditional values aka no furries, trans crap,
DEI

5) Strong and advanced military

6) Support strong border security and contolled
Legal immigration

7) Support strong law enforcement none of this cashless bail and such. Back the Blue

8) Support 2A

9) End birthright citizenship for illegals

10) Death penalty for convicted violent criminals

11) Pride in being an American

12) Reduce perpetual social programs and create a system of reward for work not for gaming the system

13) There are only two genders


Doesn’t sound so bad

🤷‍♂

AGREE with many, Also many do not sound like America, more like rules you would find in RUSSIA.

Too much government spending creates inflation....so everything costs more
BUT
Personal income does NOT match inflation.
A day's wages once was 3.75% of the cost of a new car. Today the same skill level wages is 0.4% of the price of a new car.
That happened in 70 years time. Several bouts of inflation makes that happen.

Government overspending destroys your ability to earn a decent living.



That is the conservative philosophy.

How many "Republican" self proclaimed sub humans cheered when W socialized senior drugs?

MANY...


Many of the "Republicans" here get free pills from it.
 
What stops everyone else from getting theirs?
My father had a HS education and got a union job.
He was able to support a family of six on just one salary.
He sent four kids to college without going into debt. He had good healthcare, bought a three bedroom house, we took vacations and he retired at 62.

What changed?
We listened to Conservatives and embraced Supply Side Economics. Give money to the wealthy and prosperity will trickle down in good paying jobs.
Instead, pay went stagnant, benefits decreased, families needed two wage earners
fact,
 
That's simply ridiculous....I grew up in a Union city, (Lansing Mi)...I had many friends that were UAW. I was also, in the Teamsters myself when I drove for Pepsi....I saw it first hand.

Maybe when they first were created, but as they went on, they became corrupt. skimming pension funds, glad handing management, and not giving a shit about the people they were supposed to represent, that's what I saw...
Any group that gets to much power,
Always the greed takes over. money now rules.

Nope....not accurate. Corporate wages have not been restricted. They pay market rates. Profits have been mostly static for those making good choices as international exchanges have ensured they do.

Blaming Republicans for the death of the middle class is proof positive of just how immature you are. Simplistic bullshit, with tiny elements of truth but primarily garbage.

It all traces back to Ronald Reagan who sold us on supply side economics with a promise that a rising tide would lift all boats.

It only lifted the yachts
 
15th post
Give me one example of such

Republicans have enforced right to work laws.
Mainly you can enjoy the benefits unions bring but you don’t have to pay.

It has strangled collective bargaining and employees threatening to join unions for better benefits

This created an every man for himself workplace with no protections for those who attempt to complain
