It's reactionary, not conservative. If they'd been conservative, they'd not actively try to revert the US back to the colonial age.

They're not the same.

It’s reactionary, not conservative.

Those are both the same thing.

Lol, no. Reactionaries violently upend and attempt to revert to medievalism, conservatism does nothing; the latter might as well be somewhat apathetic.

What do you think conservatives are trying to "conserve"? Because it ain't nature.

As I mentioned, the status quo. So basically the average Joe that doesn't care much either way, isn't gonna hate or support, but also not apathetic. Basically people who just want stability, not fascism (which is inherently unstable in that it perpetuates a state-led chaos and terror).

As for nature, the whole "X is UnNattural" is nonsense fabricated by religious fundamentalists, tbh. Nature is wilder than whatever they can cook up.

As I mentioned, the status quo.

The status quo of systemic white supremacy and the patriarchy... So... fascists.

I've seen lots of people lately attempting to distance conservatism from MAGA, and I'm sorry but it has failed. You need to extricate yourself from the hateful ideology that you (presumably) subscribe to.

One can distinguish the two while adhering to neither.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 days ago

Yes but it seems that the people with the most interest in distancing the two are embarrassed conservatives
