re: #30 Lidane

No it won’t. It’ll just be retconned to fit whatever narrative the right wants at the time.

In his response to the Emancipation Proclamation, Jefferson Davis called the Confederate policies conservative several times. Now conservatives (or at least the RWNJs) want to pretend that the Confederates were all liberal Democrats. It’ll be the same thing with the Tea Party and the RWNJs now. Whatever is uncomfortable for future conservatives will be rewritten to be liberal ideology.

Why do you assume that faction will truly control the narrative? What they merely claim for themselves is hardly worth paying attention to. Like McCarthyism these Tea Party aberrations come and then they go. Conservative thought and theory is a phenomenon of longer history and more relevance than the GOP.
