re: #132 Dopamine Fish
Even as a religious person, I will agree with your assertion that conservatism is a religion in itself, albeit most frequently intertwined with the tenets of Christianity in an attempt to give it a veneer of historical legitimacy, carrying the narrative of “Republicans are the Party of God” that has been established since the successful execution of the Southern Strategy.
Just by happenstance, I’ve been reading some work by people who were, in their time, conservative. So I feel the need to remind us all again, that the term “conservative” was hijacked by those humorless radicals now trying to stamp out freedom of thought et al., and they bear no resemblance to the real thing.
