there are lots of people whining “they’re not conservative, they’re authoritarian” who are both conservative and authoritarian. it’s not like a lot of them aren’t both.
“People” whining doesn’t change the fact that what we call modern conservatism is no longer conservative. If you aren’t going to make an actual point I’m done.
gonna be honest, the only folk i know who split those hairs are folk whining that, and i quote my idiot brother “modern conservatism has left me behind”
Sure but the framing for conservatism in this thread is PragerU who absolutely see it all as the same thing.
Just like I can go into topics about digital games and rightfully point our bluray and dvd are digital media but all I’m really doing is shouting at clouds like an old man about a technicality.

Absolutely not splitting hairs - MAGA successfully posing as “conservative” is a big deal.
