I used to be conservative up to my mid 20s because I didn’t know enough about the world and all I had was my parents’ influence.
Now in my mid 40s I’m as progressive as they come, and I believe there are absolutely no redeeming qualities of being a “conservative” and it’s ruining society.
Conservative isn't even the right word for today's GOP. It's regressive.
That's pretty much what conservatism is. Conservativism tries to conserve something a country has and when that country males.progress they must regress to go back to what the country has.
Yeah, conservatism means protecting a society's institutions and allowing only slow and gradual change to prevent disruption.
The Democratic Party is conservative.
Progressivism means embracing the possibilities of change and working powerfully to change society for the better.
We don't have a progressive party.
The Republican Party isn't even "regressive" - what it wants to "regress" to never even existed.
The Republican Party are refounders. Revolutionaries. They want to tear down American institutions to remake them in the image of an imaginary ultralibertarian "American golden age" that will eliminate democracy and ensconce themselves and their descendants as a new American robber baron oligarchy. And they don't care what they destroy in the process.
