The Conservatives know themselves better than YOU know them.

No they are not. They believe in government control. THAT is the truth.

The UK is fast becoming a dystopian nightmare, and the U.S. is moving in that direction, unless people fight back.
It's almost getting that way here now though!

The woke Twitter mob is the biggest in the world in the USA.

If you don't think US citizens are also monitored, I suggest you need a check-up ASAP.

I say the U.S. by a landslide but how about you?
What I got from this video is that conservatism in the U.K. pretty much has no message and stands for nothing.

Similar to Joe Biden during his campaign trail in the U.S. Just run your mouth occasionally without saying anything of substance.

The only example of rioting by Republicans that you have, is January 6th, that's is. And every conservative Republican has denounced them. So even that act of violence was not anything that "conservatives" approved of. So those people are no reflection on "conservatives."

The only protesting by Republicans in the past few decades was the TEA Party protests, and those people were not responsible for any violence.

The anti-lockdown protests by Republicans last year were also peaceful.

You people will ignore the violent protests by the Democrats and the left in the 60s against the Vietnam war, ignore the bombings by Weather Underground, ignore the dozens of violent and destructive riots from Occupy Wall Street, Black Lives Matter and antifa. All you do is focus on one single day, Jan 6th; which has not been repeated by the way. One act of violence by republicans in decades is all you have, and with that, you damn 70 million people. Typical.

People like you represent the worst type of bigots, you'll see one person doing something wrong and damn an entire group of people for it.

Excellent post. One of the most accurate I've read on DC forums. That is definitely one of the cornerstones of leftist ideology.

"Come on, man", of course the US. You have no rights in the UK, there is no constitution you are at the whim of the King of England (which is effectively now the Prime Minister and the ruling party)

Only if you don't know what conservativism is with regards to the OP. Conservatism "seeks to promote and to preserve traditional social/economic institutions." The traditions and social institutions of the previously mentioned nations couldn't be farther from those of North America or Europe, generally speaking.



Not the same traditions and social institutions. See above. Our "culture/traditions" is/are profoundly different.



Had.



Were.
You must live in a blue state, lol
