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

Pushing Americans to just take risks with their lives isn't conservative. This is a party motivated by pursuit of power. That's it. That's all.
We've been taught to think about American politics on a spectrum of Left and Right, Democrat and Republican.

That's extinct. It's just gone. The Republican Party isn't conservative. It'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'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't "conservative" to drive up deficits when it comes to spending on your own pursuits. It isn't "conservative" to say, let thousands die and let the chips fall where they may.

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

Again, for people who haven't heard me say this.

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

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