    “Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.”

      Conservatives are fundamentally bad people. Hypocritically supporting your in-group while harming your out-group is bad person behavior. Someone admitting they are a conservative should elicit the same response as someone saying they kick puppies or punch babies. It’s inexcusable and has no place in polite society.

        Yep, and I’ve been tired of the both-siderists and so-called “moderates” making excuses for conservatives and Republicans and talking about “true” conservatives.
