'Conservatism These Days' Thread
First comes the 'populist' salesman who appeals to emotions, not facts. In fact, they tell us facts are fake and cannot be trusted coming from smart people like scientists or teachers, who aren't trustworthy, like a populist pitchman is.

Now tie in some macho-man jingo and nationalist/patriotic short, emotional mumbo-jumbo phrases that endlessly repeat keywords like TAKE BACK, GOD BLESS, I'LL FIGHT for this, that blah blah .. FREE SPEECH, SCHOOL CHOICE, JESUS, FATHERLAND, MOTHERLAND, PAST GREATNESS etc.

Drive the message all problems are because of racial/ethnic/religious groups you don't know anything about, but no matter, you won't like them now or ever, because it's all their fault. Celebrate by wearing a yellow vest and become a hollering, foot stomping chanting nitwit.

Insulate and immerse in a Fox News, Rebel News, National Post, Postmedia, The Sun and Evangelically religiously insane bubble of poo to 'keep informed.' But that is not why I gathered you all together here today.

I gathered you here today because this is an example of why those of sound mind and body should never vote Conservative. Because goodness, wisdom, helpfulness, anything socially redeeming or logical does not enter into Conservative thought patterns, as we can see here. #cdnpoli
