Mere hours after some House Republicans reported progress on a proposal to avoid a government shutdown at the end of the month, Donald Trump demanded they use the opportunity to "defund" Special Counsel Jack Smith and his team.
Modern conservatism stands for nothing except power for power’s sake. They want nothing except “their way”, what ever it happens to be this week. They’re simply enemies of democracy.
Nahhh old conservatives at least pretended to have values they were protecting while being wannabe despots. They’re getting way, way more brash and open about being fascistic pieces of shit these days, and that is a very worrying development.
They’re no longer fascistic in effect. They’re becoming openly fascist. That is very bad.
You’re not wrong that they’ve been taking the mask off lately, but my point was that conservatism is an unbroken thread going back to monarchists. It’s never been about “tradition” or other BS like that; it’s always been about hierarchical power.

Yea, wholly agree on that part. They’re always “conserving” the worst parts of society.
