    That’s more fascism than conservatism. But the two terms are used interchangeably enough these days that your statement holds. Modern day American conservatives don’t wish to conserve anything. They wish to promote fascism.

      Eh, that’s more limited to the vocal minority. Unfortunately, that vocal minority is being supported by the quiet majority.

      There are some reasonable conservatives in Congress that aren’t big Trumpers, but they don’t get the spotlight.

      Fascism is just conservatism with the addition of hyper-nationalism and the blaming of minorities for all of society’s problems.

      But the core belief, that some groups are inherently better than others, is exactly the same.

      They’d like to conserve the power imbalance currently in favor of white men and wealthy people.
