You… know it's possible to be a conservative without being a Republican, right?
Well yeah, I’d even say Republican policy is at contradictory with current popular conservative rhetoric. I think we’ve muddied these terms up too much in the us.
To any conservative though I think my most simple question is, what is it specifically they want to conserve? They don’t have small and limited government, and we never have? What about the status quo is so appealing if we can all admit there are major problems? It’s like even “conservatives” are saying significant changes need to be made and that’s just convoluted lol. I think “Republican” is so unpopular of a label among the youth that they have to hide behind other labels like “conservative” and “libertarian” even when it makes no sense
