Just to distance myself from the current "conservative" establishment, I would argue that their views are not conservative so much as they are a relatively newer form of fascism. Typically with fascism there is nationalism that prioritizes the citizens of the nation above all else, but with this new "conservatism" in the US, the nationalism is a bit more race-based. But other than that it's much more close to fascism than what we in the US typically considered "conservatism".
Maybe we need a new word for it altogether?
- SauciestGNU 6y ago>the nationalism is a bit more race-based You could almost say it's a white nationalism. But really I think it's less about race and more about capital and political fealty. Loyalty to the seats of power above all else, and your value to the party and its "society" determined relative to your capital holdings.
