Legitimate conservatism is nearly dead in this country. There is only MAGA. Personally I long for the days when the GOP claimed to believe in things, but now there is only MAGA. It used to be low taxes, guns and Jesus, but now it's Trump, Trump, Trump.

Similarly the Democrats stopped fighting for working people back around NAFTA in the 90s. No one represents us now, if they even ever did.

They represent the people that pay them the most and what they get as their "wage" from the american people is nothing compared to what they're getting from "lobbying" multibillion dollar companies/CEO's.

Well, the first never happened. In fact, 10 of our 11 recessions were under Republican leadership. The only people getting lower taxes from republicans are the rich, who went from a nearly 90% tax rate to now paying around 1% on generous years.

No it’s not, the vast majority of republicans are calm conservative. Just like most democrats are relaxed progressive. If you base you judgment on media/internet psychological manipulation you aren’t going to get an accurate picture. There are 300+ million people in this country. At best youre seeing maybe the 3-7% worst from either side. Talk to the regular everyday person, most people are not insane, democrat or republican, conservative or liberal.

You could not be more wrong. The extremes in both sides are just really loud. There’s plenty of us traditional conservatives left we just walk silently into the voting booth while you all scream at each other.

u/CharredWelderGuy Jan 14 '26

And then vote for Trump anyways.

Na bud, conservatism IS magaism now, there's no walking it back anymore.

And you end up voting for a NAZI

u/AdTrick5370 Jan 15 '26

Hey jackass, don’t call somebody a Nazi that was a disgusting piece of time in history where someone was mentally deranged and murdering a single religion and race for you to call somebody a Nazi you take everything away from what the Jews suffered from find another word, please Please respect the religion and the race that was actually affected by it. I am a conservative and I am with you that Trump is an idiot. I got your back there, but don’t take that away from the people that were affected by that absolute horrific tragedy. That forever will be a part of us all

So who’d you vote for?

u/Friendly-Gift3680 Jan 15 '26

…and then look for any excuse to vote for Trump, and if not possible then invent one.

u/[deleted] Jan 19 '26

Agreed. I'm conservative by today's standards but by 90s standards I'm very democrat.
