    Conservatism should be illegal. Nothing good in the history of mankind has ever come from it. The only things to come from conservatism are oppression, bigotry and death.

        Your defense of conservatism is incongruent with the historical tendency of every nation’s most conservative population to oppress the vulnerable.

        Your definition of the word conservative is impractical as it casts all participants of a functional culture as conservatives. In this way, you and I have different definitions of the word, which makes this an unimportant argument of semantics, rather than a profound ideological debate.

        You prefer to defend conservatives by re-labelling them as something distinct, but this only allows conservatives to wiggle out of the crosshairs over and over again as they point to the “other” conservatives as the culprit of their collective behavior.

        If it’s conservative to do any of those things then all democrats are conservative. Which isn’t true so this is not correct.

        Conservative is a political party. And it should be illegal.

          Eh, your democrats in the US are Conservative to Europe. Your “left wing” is pretty much on par with our right wing.

            This is true. There are only a handful of progressives in the Democrat Party.

            We don’t have a progressive party. We have a conservative party and a more conservative party.
