I think there's a lot of general confusion over that "conservatism" is.
First, it's not "evil" or even "bad". It's a legitimate political philosophy that boils down to minimal possible intervention in society, including but not limited to the economy.
Every time the right gains or undoes something the left feels a deep existential angst and loss of optimism.
"They should all move to another country" is a bad take by both sides.
We're demonizing each other, responding to the most radical of each end.
We need to see each other. We need to remember we have a *democracy*.
That's not conservatism. Not even a little.
When I freak out about @erinotoole, it's not because he's a conservative, it's because he endorsed Trumpism.
