1. There is NO "conservatism" in today's politics in the U.S.

It is the radical right.

Any time somebody use "conservative" to describe the radical right, I can tell somebody's age. "Conservatism" hasn't been around since the Bush II era. Those people were booted out of the GOP or they quit.

Jessica Valenti, who has the Substack, Abortion, Every Day, does this all the time and doesn't understand the simple fact there is no "conservative" movement in the U.S. in the third decade of the 21st century. She doesn't know what she is talking about, and I can't read her work anymore because of it.
