Where Do Conservatives Go From Here?

That is a question all conservatives seem to be asking. With the most socialist-sounding Democratic Party in history controlling the presidency and both houses of Congress, and with a national media consistently portraying conservatives in the most heinous and prejudiced of ways, conservatives rightly question their place and role in the fabric of America.
The incoming presidential administration has thrown off platitudes about national unity, but after four years of nonstop assaults on a duly elected president and his supporters, any platitudes about unity carry no credibility. Indeed, with the angry vengeance of the political left and an emboldened liberal media, conservatives may rightly feel that both politics and culture are stacked against them.
All throughout the summer of 2020, riots occurred in cities across America. The media never covered the violence and arson and looting of these “mostly peaceful†protests. Democratic politicians rarely condemned the violence; indeed, it took Joe Biden months to ever criticize the violence associated with the protests.
And yet, with the riot that took place at the Capitol on January 6, the media covered nothing but the small group of individuals who perpetuated that reprehensible and unjustified violence on the seat of our nation’s democratic government. There was no mention of the thousands of peaceful demonstrators outside who did not participate in the riot. There was no coverage of the universal and immediate condemnation of the violence by conservative leaders. Instead, there was just the predicted smear of conservatism, equating conservatives with the unhinged rioters who broke into the Capitol. And in the days following that detestable riot, the media continually suggested that conservatives across the country were just waiting to perpetuate more violence out of anger at the election loss of President Trump.
