Most of what is passing today as conservative, really isn't. It's the opposite side of the same coin which could be considered progressive.The only debate is the direction. Which overwhelming intrusive and activist reaction do I prefer.

Both the mainstream conservatives and the old moderate liberals are getting squeezed by the two extremes to the point to where imperfect but reasonable consensus has become a dirty term.

Absolutely.

Trump and Bush are more progressive in their governance than conservative.

Yes, it feels like normal people have become abnormal, and common sense has been replaced by emotion.
