a political ideology centred on citizenship in a state and emphasise on self rule to Conservatism?

Actually the transition. It’s pretty specific. During the Reagan era, it was recognized that a large number of Americans of social conservative viewpoint Had been ignored. And so the Republicans at that time started reaching out to them. In addition they themselves and started doing things like school book elections and such. So distracted a more reactionary version of social conservatism. This is very distinctly different from the conservatism. I’ve say the Goldwater era. And because I got them so many Converse that kept feeding that bunch. Not recognizing at the time that there’s a big overlap between evangelical Christianity and complete brain dead fuck wits
The more they pander, the more they got all the social conservatives. After the great debacle of Nixon, eventually something called the Powell memorandum with written it was a blueprint on how they take back power having lost it. American history is weird

@MarthannBann888 You can't refute a single debate point made by @Dshhh so you throw childish personal insults instead. It's a strange way of conceding defeat, but consider your loss to be duly noted.

@MarthannBann888 When you make [i]ad hominem[/i] attacks like that, you forfeit any credibility and automatically lose the argument.

What are you so angry about that you can’t be civil in your posts?

You are certainly entitled to your opinion, but others are entitled to respect as well.

@MarthannBann888 They are childish when anyone uses them.

But again, what are you so angry about?

@RedBaron

I am angry at the same thing black people used to be angry at with kkk/democrats. Being called names. Dems treat republicans like they used.to treat black people.

@MarthannBann888 Why not just make a sweeping generalization about an entire group of people?

All democrats are alike, huh? Now who’s the bigot?

@RedBaron

Maybe YOU can look in the mirror. Is it not kkk/democrats who talk about maga's??? N-words??? Deplorable???

You can't demonstrate I've ever called you that, so you owe me an apology.
