14. They all still think conservatism can work. However, the main problem preventing it...
... isn't that liberalism gets in the way; rather, conservatism's failures can almost all be chalked up to: conservatives. So even if never-Trumpers wrest control from Trump and his ilk and take back their party, the conservative movement will still be the same festering morass that gave rise to Trumpism in the first place.
Unless American conservatism can divorce itself from Confederate heritage, religion, and always valuing the individual over group, and thereby perhaps just stick to fiscal conservatism, then conservatives will slide down the same rabbit hole in which they find themselves now. (Let's not even get started on dark money and gun ownership -- and by that I mean the NRA's ownership of Congressional Republicans!) ============== |
