    A conservative’s loyalty to America comes from a desire to maintain traditional values, social orders, and hierarchies of people.

    They don’t deserve respect. The ones who deserve respect are the ones trying to protect the rights of individuals, maximize the social good of all people, and foster an environment of progress for the future – the liberals, socialists, and the progressives, that is. People who declare themselves conservative stand in opposition to these things by definition. They do not want things to change for the better because they do not want things to change at all unless it is going backwards.

    I’ll take the allies I can in this existential fight, but I have zero respect for anyone who’s proud to be a conservative.
