Honestly calling American conservatives conservatives at all is an insult to an ideology that, while I do oppose most things held by, is at least a coherent ethos that does have valid points on occasion. Mainstream "conservatism" in the United States however was utterly hollowed out by the likes of Rush Limbaugh's EIB network, Fox News, etc. to at this point be merely an entire ideology who's sole tenet is "Fuck liberals."
That's the entire thing now. Just fuck liberals. No matter what the issue is, fuck liberals. If liberals want sensible regulations, they will be opposed. If conservatives suggest the exact same ones, they'll be fine with it. If the Liberals cave and give the Conservatives exactly what they want, they'll still oppose it because it'll be signed by a Liberal president, which is a Liberal accomplishing something, and therefore conflicts with "Fuck Liberals." They will fuck Liberals if it costs them freedoms, the lives of their children, the stability of their government, and the habitability of their biosphere.
That's all mainstream conservatism is anymore here and frankly it should be roundly mocked and derided at every opportunity for that. This complete non-ideology is why political issues here can comprehensively not be resolved, because one side's entire driving force is fucking over the other.
