That's not what many Republican supporters are in favor of, rather they want less government or no government.
No. Conservative inherently means Well, conservation. Aka, want status quo. Or pro current system. Generally speaking, leftists, or "progressives" would want to go past or away from that system. To be quite frank, it perfectly matches the Republican Party.
Their "solution" is to dissolve any governmental regulations, while also bolstering governmental power at the same time.






It's the reason Republicans were "back the blue." while simultaneously holding the stance that there needs to be less regulation.
The two ideas are in complete conflict if the true stance was "less government power in general"
However it makes sense when you think about it in the sense of increasing corporate power. By removing regulations, which usually protects the people. It makes it so companies can make more predatory decisions for profit sake.

While increasing governmental power to assist in closing the back door, and squash any attempts by the populous to put them back in place.
Democrats aren't progressives. They're middle right. So actual progressive people have no choice but to support Democrats when it comes to a standard election here. Which because more and more of the base of people are infact, progressive, Democrats occasionally bend the knee, but it's not terrible often, usually resulting polices either watered-down insanely.
However if we did have a progressive party here proper, then the attempts by the populous would be pretty obvious.

I really like Josh Hawley, Ben Carson, Ron Paul, Rand Paul,
Joseph Pinion III, Robert F. Kennedy Jr, etc. I believe Mrs. Greene is sincere and has a lot of her priorities right also. I've always voted for independent candidates, though these days it's like those of the old independent mind set, just happen to be called Republican now. The Republicans up till them have always been the opposite wing from the Democrat party, in regards to the body of the bird of prey which they make up. Now it looks like many of those old Republicans are gone, or running a desperate smear campaign along side the Democrats, painting the new school of Republicans, which have more in common with the Republicans of when the party first started in the late 1800's, than they do with the Neo-Cons and such, though there are still a few like Eyepatch McCain, Ted Cruz, and the like who's loyalty to the foundation that our nation once tried to observe and respect, such as when Americans sacrificed life and limb to free the slaves. Granted there are bad things that came with the Union, but many who fought were fighting for the lives of people they'd probably never know, and aside of the British, America was one of the very first countries to attempt to put an end to slavery.

The problem is though is that we the people don't stand up and do shit anymore. We are too timid to fight much less take a stand, and we'd rather just go along to get along than stir up the pot or dare offend anyone. We are too comfortable to do the hard things that require real sacrifice from us. We are still distracted by the shallow and pathetic gossip created by the media outlets, and we do very little if not NOTHING to help these poor souls like I named above, as they them selves sacrifice them selves to try to push us back a bit from this edge that we should never have came so close to in the first place. Again, I blame it on every generation that was born into this world since the advent of the moving picture. It's like they dropped that little trojan horse amidst us, and instantly we all stopped meeting in the park and began to spend more and more time willfully allowing our selves to be conditioned, mesmerized, and in complete awe of the screens before us; a virtual reality upon which we collectively base our lives upon. Is it any wonder that nothing seems real anymore? If you are alive, then you, like my self are in some part to blame.

i have no stake in this race. furthermore, you assume that democrats and republicans are in any way equal.
No, the Democrats run the show, and they are ran by Globalists. The Republican party is just there for a sense of choice, or at least that's the only function it has ever served in my life time.
How do you not have a Stake, are you holed upon on acres of private property, running a self sustained farm or something?

Presumptive much? No I read the United Nations web site, as well as that of the World Economic Forum. They tell you what they are doing. Read much, or do you just fly off the top of your head like most normies?

Ugh... Just read that the us unveiled a new type of stealth bomber. Cost to make is roughly 700 million bucks, and the army is to order at least a hundred of those things.
So this democratic government can either A. Send every us citizen a 200 dollar check or B. Have a hundred of those toys to engage war with.
The fact they went with B is an indication of my respect for the democrats.

Middle right, like I've said several times over. If you haven't heard, Biden essentially fucked over railroad workers (anti union action), as I expected him to. If the GOP were in power, they'd be even more blatant about how shitty they are (fucking over Unions even harder)

If Biden keeps making legendary plays like this, he's going to have to give up running for the next election. People only selected him because he wasn't Trump or Trumpish. Doesn't mean people don't want someone better than soggy luke warm toast.

I have a life and don't have time to come in here and babysit you on a daily basis.
quite the life to end up on gbatemp arguing with people who are probably 30 years younger than you, trying to validate yourself online and defend antiquated, worthless ideologies in the process. you're such a role model.
