You think Conservativism is based on fear? Meanwhile your disdain for conservativism comes from a fear of intolerance and a fear of loss.
You dont get that some people want to preserve good things out of love for them.
Are you trying to say that intolerance is a virtue? You're certainly trying to imply that intolerance is not something to be feared. Have you missed the dozens of news stories about members of hate groups who bomb or shoot up people they don't like (or are arrested before they can do so)? That is what unrestrained intolerance leads to. Hate and destruction.
Those who are intolerant think the way to try and preserve things for themselves is by prohibiting them for others. They love themselves and hate others. Is that healthy?
Protecting what you hold dear is, at the core of it, a conservative value. Not a "Liberal" (in the american use of the word) value.
The key word in that sentence is "
you". Conservative value is "f--k you, I've got mine". It's about selfishness, protecting what they, personally, have while everyone else is on their own.
The smaller your focus, the less you can see. Trump cannot manage to see outside of his own head. He drove the United States off a cliff because he was incapable of seeing the bend in the road.
