You can only vote on one answer.

are there any smart conservatives out there ? I'd love a decent debate but so far not one can hold a decent convo to defend their god and saviour Trump or any of their ideals and values for that matter.

@BohemianBoo William F. Buckley was like the last one. Now we have fucking Jordan Peterson 😩

@SW-User I will agree that in the Pre-Trumpism days, there were people who could at least make good arguments for aspects of Conservatism.

@BohemianBoo Have you ever listened to the podcast Know Your Enemy? It examines the history of right-wing ideology from an intellectual perspective (the two hosts are leftists, one is a former right-winger who spent his college days in right-wing Claremont Institute circles). Really interesting. Super academic, but it's interesting to learn about the right in a context other than Trump/QAnon insanity.

@SW-User I'll check it out. The history of Conservatism is really interesting.
Even with Trumpism, there were moments and cultural shifts in American history before Trump that led up to the current insanity. It's all part of a continuous story that didn't just start with Trump.

@BohemianBoo Absolutely true, and a lot of liberals make the mistake of thinking Trump is the start or the source of this stuff.
