    Somewhere along the line, conservationism became synonymous with stagnation.

    I am not sure if it was the tea party movement or what. But there was this idea that America was perfect and never had to change,

    Then it became the Anti-Democrat party. Where they didn’t care about the details, they just didn’t want to work with them.

    Eventually, they took the long way around the logical train, and ended at tyranny. Ask any conservative if they think they are a Nazi, and they would proudly claim no. Ask them if it is okay to put kids in separate cages on the Mexico boarder, suddenly it’s not even a question, it’s our duty.

    What we are seeing in congress right now, are the cracks showing on that system. I know most people wouldn’t know why I would be excited for that. But it means the old system of thought is breaking. It is tearing, and grinding against itself, which can only mean that change is coming, whether people want it or not.

      Yeah, except those people are in a better position to capitalize on change. That’s why I’m not excited.
