re: American Conservatism is Fiddling While Rome Burns

If the system was already so broken, they wouldn’t be working so damn hard to keep you from changing it, would they? The corrupt are panicking right now. They are doing everything they can to keep the rabble in line. Their own, whom they groomed through years of propaganda to fight the opposition, are now turning on their own like rabid dogs. The more they attack you, the more they’re exposing themselves, and the less influence they really have. The mob is rising up, and the mob is a sword without a hilt. The right action, the right plan now can change this nation forever. Now is not the time to resign oneself to defeat, but to hit the enemy from all sides. The uniparty is flailing right now, under siege from left and right. A little nudge and all that institutionalized and entrenched power will be pulled out from under them. The only way they hang on is by convincing people like you that our country is already too far gone. If it was, they wouldn’t be pulling out all the stops right now like they are.

That being said, one of the primary accomplishments that republicans are constantly sold short on is being a stumbling block to socialist democrats trying to implement their agenda. Socialist democrats would have destroyed this country 20 years ago if it weren't for republicans, conservative or not

But is that really an accomplishment. Seems all they are doing is kicking the can down the road.

A real accomplishment would have been fighting and putting a stop to it 20 years ago.

Now it’s tool late. We are the inevitable course to pure socialism And maybe that’s what it will take to get conservatives to grow a spine.

Will be interesting to see how many have to die in the process.

Conservatism wins in the arena of ideas, every fricking time


lol that's why we have drifted leftward for decades

---

To be fair. A large part of the leftward drift is because politicians who get elected by claiming to conservatives, really are not.

And once they get elected, the shed their conservative pretense and help move everything to the left. See Romney.

quote:

Not many conservatives on this board any more. Most who claimed to be "conservative" have sold out to Trump, who is far, far, far from being conservative

---

Not sure that’s true. But we really don’t have choice but to support Trump at the current time.

He’s the only one even pretending to fight the left. Almost all the other republicans in Washington are just democrats claiming to be Republican so they can get elected in their given districts.
