I’m confused, what exactly is conservatism, and what does it represent? Conservatives are supposed to be the law and order party, but they put a convicted felon/sexual abuser/con man into the White House.
They ignore the attack on our Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021 while Congress was in session, and lives were lost. On that day, this president not only supported it, he helped instigate it.
These conservatives stand by as masked thugs break into cars and homes, pulling people out without just cause or warrants, and they often refuse to identify themselves; much like the Nazi SS.
Their president has taken independent national organizations like the FBI, attorney general, and even the military, and made them his own personal protectors, leaving the courts nobody to enforce decisions that he doesn’t agree with.
Conservatives are supposed to be against Big Government, something they accuse Democrats of, while they eliminate Roe v. Wade and send women’s rights back 50 years. They also want to tell you who you can love and marry.
Somehow this is all OK. They burn books! They have a religious affiliation, yet they seem to have a problem healing the sick and feeding the poor.
So you’ll have to forgive me if I no longer fly the flag I used to love, or sing the national
anthem. This is no longer “The Land of The Free”!
