As a registered Republican I can agree conservatism by and large is pretty much dead at this point. There's too many minorities that's immigrated here in recent decades and the Democrats were smart to lasso all of them onto their plantation and keep them loyal.
The Republicans only fatal mistake was sitting by idly polishing their nails while the democrats welcomed new immigrants in. In short, the Republicans are idiots. That or they're just putting on a show and pretending like they cared about conservative issues. The Republicans would have full power over the United States had they kept the non-white immigrants out. They should have shot down Kennedy's bill that opened the door to everyone and they should have impeached Reagan when he signed the amnesty bill.
But they didn't. They sat by and did nothing. In fact many of them applaud Ronald Reagan. The first president to sign in amnesty.
The Republicans really are a bunch of idiots. lol
It's a shame too because now the country is going to descend into degeneracy and third world status thanks to social liberal ideology. But what do I care. I won't be around to see it happen so IDC.
Republicans in my opinion seems to be defined by hate. Everything that they stand for seems to be against this or that. They believe in exclusivity and that some people are born more deserving than others. They just seem anti-human from the average person's point of view.
Sadly, these thoughts are not anti-human, they are explicitly human.
Yes, modern American conservatism was created as a backlash against the success of liberal public policy.
The very birth of the ideology is based on being against something.
It's just over the years in order to stop liberalism, conservatism has increasingly come to mean being against whatever liberals support even if they are former conservative ideas.
So conservatives are anti-union, anti- black people voting, anti-immigrant, anti- muslim, anti-abortion, anti- homosexual marriage, anti- gun control, anti- legalization of marijuana, anti- government, anti- taxes, anti-poor people, anti-single moms, anti climate change, anti-stem cell research, anti- big cities, anti- liberal states, etc.
conservatives voters don't like our government, they increasingly don't like other Americans, the conservative party appeals to those sentiments.
Well of course conservatives are unpopular with the 50+% of Americans who are presently looting the treasury.
Conservatives are the wet blankets who want to stop the Democrats from giving away money stolen from our children.
You mean the wet blankets who gave Bush a blank check to bankrupt us with two unfunded wars, tax cuts for the super rich, and other deficit inducing buffoonery?

See this is what I mean when I write that the core of conservatism is exclusion, and that conservatives don't really believe in representative government.
The Republican party, already more unpopular than cockroaches, has hit an all time low in the eyes of Americans. A new CNN poll has found a worsening of the GOP's tattared image amid their fake scandal stunt against the President. Here is an excerpt summarizing America's distrust of Republicans in the new poll:
In a week that was supposed to be the worse of Obama's Presidency (or so Republicans hope), Republicans are the ones who emerged bruised. Americans must really hate the GOP... or reality does indeed have a liberal bias.
This is a list of events that preceded the decline in Nixon's popularity...

So conservatives are anti-union, anti- black people voting, anti-immigrant, anti- muslim, anti-abortion, anti- homosexual marriage, anti- gun control, anti- legalization of marijuana, anti- government, anti- taxes, anti-poor people, anti-single moms, anti climate change, anti-stem cell research, anti- big cities, anti- liberal states, etc.
Is it that simple to you? Let's look at a few of your issues.
anti-union means pro-worker freedom
anti-abortion means take a humane position of not killing 1,000,000 fetuses every year.
anti-gun control means opposing legislation that will not save lives
anti-government - that isn't a conservative position. That is a an anarchist position.
anti-taxes - just anti-excessive taxes
anti-poor - conservatives want the government to get out of the way and to stop a growing dependency on government
anti-single mom - single parent households clearly struggle more. So conservatives would like to increase the number of households with two parents.
anti-big cities?? what does this mean?
anti-liberal states? Aren't you against conservative states?
I can honestly understand this. I'm not excusing what Obama's administration did, but Republicans and the GOP are so eager to get rid of him any way they can that they take what should have been a simple "Find out what went wrong" deal to a verifiable witch hunt, making themselves seemingly desperate and crazy and just turning off the voter base.
You mean the wet blankets who gave Bush a blank check to bankrupt us with two unfunded wars, tax cuts for the super rich, and other deficit inducing buffoonery?
FTR, my income was twice what it is today when W was in office.
