I disagree completely. The fundamental goal of conservatives has always been to maintain and expand the social and economic power of the elites within a society. "Conservatism" as a political ideology was invented to protect aristocrats from the rise of democracy. Everything else has been in service of that goal: They resist change to prevent the rise of equality; They champion "freedom" to protect the elites' ability to oppress; They value "free market" economics to allow elites to have more influence in the economy. Remember: if we vote with our dollars, people with more dollars get more votes. Within that context, MAGA is clearly conservative, as it exists to protect and rebuild the privilege of "whites".

I would agree that MAGA ≠ conservative but almost none of the rest of this has any basis in reality. Most Republicans absolutely still take immense pride in being the party to end slavery & still champion the idea that people should be judged on their actions/character rather than color/gender/sexuality/etc.

this feels like massive cope. MAGA isn't some outlier, it's where the American right has been heading for decades, since at least the 80s, if not the 50s.

What happened to the American conservative movement that supported the rule of law and supported institutions? The right has gone fascist.

They are rejecting Locke’s social contract theory and natural rights. We are entering the new dark ages.

Pretty sure it’s the LEFT that’s going back on all the historical land sites, high schools and street names that are being destroyed by the act of renaming it. Example. In Marin County why rename things that were named after SirFrancisDrake? Because people may be offended hearing the “history”? This country is not built on a cute happy go lucky story.

If you mean “conservative” as in hoarding wealth, then yes.

Just the will for dominance. That's a great take on it.

This is so 100% spot-on. American conservativism has one value and one value only. Power.

American republicans are WHITE SUPREMACIST FACISTS, and there is no mediating factor or moderating elements of their outlooks. If you support them you’re a traitor to your nation, your people, and your own humanity.

MAGA is regressive, not conservative. It’s a third party that it hijacked the Republican Party entirely and took it over.
