re: #36 laZardo

I really dislike that you’re simultaneously painting with a broad brush and using a narrow spectrum.

There’s far more than just right and left to a political issue. It’s a binary attribution which is relatively meaningless.

I think that the behavior of the GOP recently has poisoned the very concept of ‘conservative’ for a lot of people, but there’s nothing inherently wrong with (non-social) conservatism. What we have these days is ‘conservatives’ who deny reality. Reality-denial isn’t a default part of conservatism.
