Modern american conservatism is, when its all boiled down, one singular concept: Selfishness. That's why so many of them are huge fans of Ayn Rand.Even issues like racism come down to the need to prove yourself better than other people without actually having to work at self-improvement.I could go on and on and on. Maybe there was a reasonable conservative position back in the day... but now... all I see is a bunch of upper middle class white men trying to keep as much as they can, even at the expense of others. Morality and conservatism... in this day and age... are incompatible.
And the worst part about it is that they claim to be the "moral majority". This philosophy could not be more of a polar opposite to Jesus' teaching, it's honestly straight up heresy. They rant and rave against "the culture", when they themselves have become inundated with cultural trends of selfish individualism.
