First off, liberal media started the culture war, and young conservatives are only helping to keep it alive by reacting to the media and Twitter shit-posts and getting mad over it. PLEASE STOP! The culture war shouldn't be the main talking point of the conservatives. Talk about the core rot of the country instead which bleeds into and continues to perpetuate the culture war. Also, why do we see a reason to label ourselves and ourselves in a box? As far as I've seen, all this does is create political sectarianism, especially in recent years with the rise of the culture wars.
What are conservatives actually conserving? I personally have my own conservative values, but what is even the point of fitting yourself into one box? Liberalism and conservatism both have their strong points, but neo-conservatism and neo-liberalism have pretty much destroyed the core perspective of what makes one truly liberal or conservative. Republican =/= Conservative, and Democrat =/= Liberal, but too many people like to fall for that trope and have confused, even their own political identities. The current Republican party won't get over Raegan and the Democratic party took a page out of the book of Republicans during the Clinton era and went corporatist and globalist. Despite their cultural differences, they are largely the same in terms of assholery, yet conservatives and liberals still too commonly align themselves with these parties because we've developed this fault perception that they more closely align with our values, but their actions (and often lack of) suggest otherwise. Many conservatives need to really reflect and think about what their true conservative ideas are.
To the people who want to pretend that only conservatives value guns and tax cuts, that's not even a purely conservative thing. I know plenty of progressives who also want to defend their gun rights, and they understand that the issue of violence isn't a gun issue, but one of a mental health crisis that has especially been perpetuated by the fact that our economic system in the U.S. is royally fucked up and the fact that overly-populated cities are becoming increasingly more difficult to control. Tax cuts are good, but they should largely be put in place at the lower and middle class income levels. I say this, because I only make $41k/yr, but 22% of that goes to the fed, and altogether I pay around 25% in taxes. And guess what, if I were making $80k, that would only increase 2% on the federal end, and if I were at less than $40k, they'd be down 10%. In today's economy - and especially in California - I and others would LOVE to have a bloody tax cut! It's not a conservative idea to want tax cuts, but what what we should be focusing on is where we want those tax cuts. And honestly, I think that taxes should be more on certain goods and services rather than on wages. And as far as immigration goes, I doubt that every liberal out there wants a completely open border, and most progressives and liberals understand where certain degrees of immigration control need to exist.
