There are only 3 or 4 conservatives that frequent this Board.

I haven’t seen any conservatives on this board.

Let’s look at just a couple of the basic conservative values:

Individual liberty: Belief that individuals have inherent rights that should be protected from government overreach. In other words, not like breaking down doors in the middle of the night without a warrant and holding people without the right of due process (hint: It’s in the Constitution), etc.

Limited government: A preference for a smaller government with a reduced role in the economy and in individual lives. In other words, not dictating what books can be read, what beliefs are acceptable, what is taught in schools, trying to limit free speech, using government functions to attack your perceived enemies, etc.

Free markets: Support for a capitalist system with minimal government intervention, believing it fosters economic growth and individual opportunity. In other words, not unilaterally imposing tariffs, taking gifts from corporations in exchange for beneficial rulings, not firing staff for reporting economic numbers you don’t like, etc.

Strong national defense: A belief in maintaining a strong military and a robust approach to national security. In other words, not putting someone in charge of the military who is reported to drink a lot, was a talking head on a right-wing television station, who discussed war plans on a public app anyone could download, and who gathered every high ranking officer in one location for an incoherent pep rally.

Rule of law: An emphasis on a society governed by established laws, not by arbitrary rule, and a belief in the importance of law and order. Good Lord, where do I even start? Let’s just say that putting a convicted 34-count felon in charge who breaks a law EVERY single day (not to mention breaking at least one of the Ten Commandments EVERY single day) is NOT believing in the rule of law.

Honestly, I’m more conservative than the so-called conservatives on this board.
