Exactly right.
I find it strange that anyone can look at the current US government and think it’s “Conservative”. The Republican Party has clearly become a radical, right wing, extremist, authoritarian, revolutionary sort of ideology. It’s obvious they want to completely remake the government and all of society. They’re not looking to conserve anything anymore.

Republicans aren’t conservatives since the tea party.

There is no Republican Party any longer, they are as dead as the Whigs. They should only be referred to in an historical or scholarly context.
They are the MAGA Party now. They have nothing in common with the traditional platform of the Republican Party - smaller government, lower taxes, economic/fiscal responsibility, family values, religious values, etc. MAGA embraces none of those foundational tenets, instead supporting and encouraging treason, racism, corruption, violence, genocide, pedophilia, misogyny, incompetence, ignorance, and more.
The Dems should hold a press conference, and unilaterally, but officially, declare the death of the Republican Party, and then never refer to them again, always calling them the MAGA Party. The MAGAs are proud of being Republicans, and they will go out of their minds over this.

Well they are still all in on lower taxes, and traditional religious family values.
BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 15 hours ago
No, they aren’t. Tariffs are taxes, and we are all paying much more, and it’s going to get a lot worse.
And where does pedophilia and corruption fit into traditional religious family values?
Okay, you may have me there.

Increased tariffs, aren’t going to compensate for the loss of the other taxes they cut. On balance it’s still lower taxes, just not for the poor.
Pedophilia and corruption are unrelated to family values.
I never mentioned them. Not sure what your getting at with that.
