Conservatism:

When a kneeling football player and immigrant toddlers are a bigger threat to the future of this nation than a presidential candidate conspiring with a hostile foreign power to undermine our democracy in order to make a buck

I'm scared of the immigrants and refugees.
I'm scared of LGBTQ people.
I'm scared of big government.
I'm scared of commies (so I grossly misslabel democratic socialism).
I'm scared of powerful women.
I'm scared of minorities.

The word conservative really means coward.
