the LEFT: Do anything to win. Unified in the end.
the RIGHT: Usually restrained. Confused. Fragmented.
You can lead a conservative to the waterr, but upon arriving, he wants to read Bill Kristol's column, debate, argue over the definition of conservatism , walks away in search of purification tablets.
Fragmented and confused. Can always be spotted holding white flags in both hands, to ever ready to surrender.
I have never seen anything so misbegotten
@truth_seeker You are confusing Conservatives with mere Republicans. It is Republicans that can do nothing, because they stand upon nothing... The tent so wide that anyone can get in. By the time it's time to act, they are fractured by RINOs and can do nothing at all.
All y'all spend your time knocking down your base, which IS the far right. Y'all spend all your time trying anything you can to undermine the principles thereof, to reduce them, to alter them, because they are not socially vogue, and are politically uncomfortable.
The left upholds its extremes - in effect including all of their factions. They are unified because of it.
The "right" does all it can to reject its extremes, moving ever to the middle (which means, in effect, to the left). The "right" chaffs at the strictures it's base would impose. So it tries continually to coerce and cajole the right to vote for less. It offers continually, candidates that drift ever farther from the truth the Right clings to - To the point that now, a New York City liberal is lofted as the 'most conservative president ever'. What a joke.
