The party calling themselves Conservatives here in the US aren't really that conservative, and/or are metaphorically sleeping with ignorant reactionaries, along with sociopaths.
Say what you want about it (and I sometimes do), but its working for them politically at the moment.

@Patriot96 Well, see there you go. Years ago, both parties had a place for people with advanced academic degrees in them, and many of them were relatively conservative.
These days, for lots of reasons, there's fewer in both parties and virtually none on the Republican side, unless their degree was from a wacko right wing institution or a for profit diploma mill, and even then, its not a plus to push it when your base is populist and anti-education.
I guess, when I retire, I could go back for a PhD and write a disssertation, but at this rate, I don't expect there to be many opportunities other than maybe for the extremely wealthy at private schools.

@MistyCee Guess I am old school Republican. donald is essentially a populist and hijacked the "Republican" party with your garden variety reactionaries, along with sociopaths, who feel they are disenfranchised and are "victims"....
