Whatever “conservatism” is, it does not involve the conservation of a stable climate, or the polar ice caps, or the coral reefs, or the global food supply.

    Conservatism in US today does not want to preserve what we have today, but go back in time to restore what they think we had in the past.

      Then we should get rid of Walmart and Amazon, grow the majority of our food locally, and largely deconstruct cities in favor of Main Street America centered on local production of high quality repairable goods.

      But I’m sure they’d say no, not like that.
