It is kind of amazing that Conservative Politics is pretty much nothing but conspiracy theories. Maybe at some points they had reasons for their believes that were based on legitimate political theory, but now its all nothing but nebulous others trying to destroy America, from immigrants and Jihadists to DEEP STATE FAKE NEWS!

conservative political philosophy is just dressed up radical centrism, the main difference that the conservatives say "hey the Family is sacred and lots of bad things (capitalism) are happening to it I think it is the gays and the blacks and the poors" whereas the liberal wing of the radical centrist party goes "things might suck for you but trust me they're really good for these few guys over here and look things aren't as bad as before...and you don't want those spooky republicans in charge right? TINA! TINA! TiNA!

both parties want to head straight into oblivion, it is just a matter of who is manning the ship and who gets to stay on board when it crashes

it certainly doesn't help that the holy trinity of Hayek, Friedman, and Von Mises were third-rate pedants, or that conservatives misunderstand and abuse Locke and Smith (though they deserve to be abused but they don't do it for the right reasons) on the regular
