    In my opinion, the actions of conservative people and politicians are inconsistent with their stated values.

      I agree. Thats why I said it. Conservatism isnt the enemy. People are riled up against each other and ultimately themselves.

        But what you listed aren’t conservative values. Talk is cheap and actions speak louder than words. Conservatives objectively and demonstrably don’t value those things despite how many times they repeat them.

          If you write down values and fail to live by them, that’s not great. But its what people vote for and why they gravitate towards an ideology.

          To make people see their mistakes is not hating on them as much as possible but discussing. I also know the next argument: they wont listen. Yes, the hardliners wont and the others wont either if you use derogatory language.
