    I do kind of feel for actual conservatives who actually believe in those values, though. Must be a really bad time.

      I suppose so. They could probably switch over to Libertarian Party - which also has a racism problem, it turns out, but maybe not as much as the Republican Party.

      As it is, the conservative movement is so chock full of people that basically want a dictator with no checks and balances and that centers businesses and businessmen. The racism and the xtian theocratic nonsense got paired up with that because honestly, how many people are going to sign up to a party that funnels even more money upwards and gives businesses even more influence? As long as this is still a democracy, you have to gin up some voters…
