Being a conservative in this day is not for the weary or weak. There are 3 problems as I see them:
1) Conservative talking heads in Con. Inc are mostly empty-headed numpties.
2) Old guard "Reaganites" are living on a different planet.
3) Trolling libs is not an actual philosophy.

You mean the joke that didn't offend the person it was about?

Nothing is more 2024 liberal than getting offended on someone else's behalf.

- The central message of Buddhism is not "every man for himself".
- The London Underground is not a political movement.
Those are all mistakes, Otto. I looked them up.

Conservatism, as you’ve expressed it, seems more on the Wendell berry side of like countryside living. I think the trolling the libs stuff is the sort of reactionary conservatism of this era.
What used to be fighting against reconstruction, desegregation, labor movements, civil rights, etc, is now reaction against representation in the swimsuit issue.
Maybe I would just always distinguish between intellectual and confrontational/reactionary conservatism

Voting for a democrat is wayyy easier now than it was pre-MAGA. Just don’t be a complete loser and you’ll probably win in a majority of the country as the GOP candidate is likely a psychopath.
Kind of goes to show how full of losers the DNC is.

Who’s offended? It’s more of a large eye roll. The Bee is that person we all knew in college that thought they were edgy because they used racial slurs as a “joke” but at some point worked themselves into believing what they were saying. They have the vibe of “it’s a joke, but not really, but I can say it is.” It’s what my kids and their friends would call “cringe.”Nothing is more 2024 liberal than getting offended on someone else's behalf.

They comprehensively 'lost' on those earlier points. The world heard their arguments for a century and eventuality said 'nah'. It feels like the general grouchiness of today's conservatism is an outgrowth of that rejection and the world discarding that point of view. All that remains is beer boycotts.What used to be fighting against reconstruction, desegregation, labor movements, civil rights, etc, is now reaction against representation in the swimsuit issue.

Over the last seven years I went from voting for Trump (2016) to not voting for a single Republican since 2020. It's hard to describe the visceral disgust I feel with the MAGA movement and all of its detritus. And the craven GOP.Voting for a democrat is wayyy easier now than it was pre-MAGA. Just don’t be a complete loser and you’ll probably win in a majority of the country as the GOP candidate is likely a psychopath.

Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) pushed back on reports that former President Trump mixed up his GOP presidential primary rival Nikki Haley with former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), according to an NBC News report.
“The reality is Nikki Haley is relying on Democrats, just like Nancy Pelosi, to try to have a desperate showing,” Stefanik said.
