re: #197 klys (maker of Silmarils)

This. One thing I have learned from this election cycle is that there really are principled Conservatives. A few of them. Their principles are wishful thinking unsupported by empirical evidence, but they remain true to them.

But most people who call themselves Conservative are basically authoritarian, racist, theocrats who hide behind the word ‘Freedom’, and will happily give up everyone else’s freedom for their own comfort and the ability to feel safe.
