It’s as though the right wing punditry is incapable of formulating an argument promoting conservative ideology at it’s foundations. As a movement, I’m not seeing pundits explain the foundations of the ideology and why it’s superior to the left. They’re more interested in attacking trivial matters, and ignoring the ideological conflict brewing within the party. And they’re not only not bothering to convince independents and democrats why they should join the right, they’re not even having the conversation with their republican allies as to why we shouldn’t tolerate moderates in our ranks.

That they would so ignore the ideological aspect of politics at this time, and only focus on the superficial causes me to question how much of the ideology of conservatism are they interested in promoting versus the easy populist path we’ve seen daily since the election, and frankly before the election too. If there are none to promote the ideology of conservatism, then the movement is on the path to extinction.
