Okay, but modern conservatism is literally fueled by frustration and nostalgia. Even classically, using the most general and charitable definition, conservatism exists to contrast possible change against the status quo.

How is that taking an L? You must have a very different definition of losing. Hell, I guess the Giants "won" their last football game, too.

And how would you define conservatism?

Men who know how to be men, who have values forged from hard, back-breaking work while asking for nothing in return but a cold beer, a hot meal from their chaste wife, and an NFL game on TV every weekend (with no liberal kneeling).

While a liberal is hard at work each day writing thinkpieces for their blog about what he imagines a Power Rangers / MCU crossover movie would look like and how much fun he would have watching this in a theater full of 11 year olds that share the same interest as him, a conservative man is learning functional skills like table making and how to repair a motorcycle engine, skills that provide value and keep the world running so liberals can continue to drink their soy lattes and contribute nothing to society.

"the opposite of that"

because modern conservatives seem only able to define themselves based on what they aren't.

The majority of the country didn't even vote, nice try.

Nothing significant, which is better than Hillary doing something significant.

and why is his approval rating in the low 30s?


Because nobody actually votes in those polls

It's legible. It's just missing the politics.

But that's fine. I think the post is more than illuminating.

That's not a fair assessment given the situation. We had two absolutely horrible human beings, and we chose the one that would do the least harm. We would have liked a better candidate, but we obviously weren't going to get one.

This board doesn't frustrate me at all; I find it highly amusing. It's such a stark contrast from my experiences in the real world that it almost feels like I'm playing a video game and experiencing some alternate reality.

As for the title, it's the liberal users on CE are the ones who are chronically angry and have daily meltdowns, not the conservative ones. I think that springs from having an emotional-based worldview that crumbles when challenged, combined with many users not being intelligent enough to engage people with differing opinions in a debate. The go-to for most of those folks is just to cry racism and wait for backup.

Nope. It's the far left and far right who have the meltdowns. It's not limited to liberals.


Who are the far-right users here? There is that Skasa guy who got banned, and maybe SMAL, who always gets banned quickly.

There really are no far-right regulars here, much less ones that have daily meltdowns like the liberals.

Well, it's true.

Really nobody on here (on both sides) has really ever condoned violence or bigotry.

Which is why we should all get along better, but people on here would rather group everyone into both extremes instead of making friends.
