Something you need to understand. They& #39;re not "conservatives." That& #39;s an old label that described an ideology they no longer have.

Pushing Americans to just take risks with their lives isn& #39;t conservative. This is a party motivated by pursuit of power. That& #39;s it. That& #39;s all.
We& #39;ve been taught to think about American politics on a spectrum of Left and Right, Democrat and Republican.

That& #39;s extinct. It& #39;s just gone. The Republican Party isn& #39;t conservative. It& #39;s definable characteristic is malleable ideology in the pursuit of power.
Pundits and politicians keep pretending like this is just business as normal, but it& #39;s not. The Republican Party has moved beyond identifiable, consistent ideology.

Fascist movements are defined by adjustable, scattershot positions that are determined based on power.
It isn& #39;t "conservative" to drive up deficits when it comes to spending on your own pursuits. It isn& #39;t "conservative" to say, let thousands die and let the chips fall where they may.

The Republican Party isn& #39;t conservative. It& #39;s a white-identity, fascistic, power movement.
We& #39;re not going to get out of this crisis until people start to realize 20th century politics and its familiar definitions are extinct.

We& #39;re in a new era and those definitions are outdated. We& #39;re dealing with a bad faith, fascistic movement. People need to open their eyes.
Again, for people who haven& #39;t heard me say this.

The Republican Party doesn& #39;t care about abortion, fiscal or social conservatism. It& #39;s not a party of deeply-held ideology. That& #39;s gone. Poof. Dust to dust.

It is a party of carefully chosen wedge-issues to result in power.
