We are certainly in a transitionary period, but "regular conservative" generally means fiscally conservative with maybe some light religious stuff in the US, or at least used to. The list of "based" opinions were all socially conservative takes.
- throwuwu 3y agoIt’s odd that you need to use “conservative” in pointing to socially conservative then. Are conservative politicians not allowed to be socially conservative? Who represents people with those beliefs if not?
- HDThoreaun 3y agoLabels can be tough. > Who represents people with those beliefs if not? Generally what people would consider to be alt-right politicians, although the alt-right is basically the mainstream powerhouse of the republican party now so maybe we're due for some new labels. Perhaps the better question is "who represents people with "regular conservative" beliefs and I guess the answer is people like Joe Manchin and Romney.
