Comment on Do you think conservative feel the same need to burn it all down as everyone else felt when trump won again?

  What is the point of labels like this if they don’t signal what it is you believe, relatively accurately?

  This is exactly why it’s necessary to push back on those who would twist it to mean something else.

    I think you’re about 80 years too late for that. At least.

      All battles are hopeless when no one fights them.

      You’re not wrong, though. But even thirty years would be enough to make a change, perhaps… or maybe it seems that way to me because that’s when I started paying attention.

      Friggen Tea Party bullshit was when it really started sliding downhill fast, IMO.

        Just a weird hill to die on… Doesn’t seem worth it, even if it was possible to accomplish (which I do not believe it is). Seems like you’d not want to label yourself with such a universally tainted title. I’m certain that there are people out there with similar positions as you who understand they’re not conseratives, and have another word for it. You should find those people.

        Otherwise people are just going to assume you’re a piece of shit when you tell them you’re a conservative. And rightfully so.
