Again, there are people who are still conservative who are nevertheless not as conservative as you.
I was just curious why Dimbulb equates wealth with conservatism when there are a lot of rich liberals out there. You're the one who made the absurd claim that rich, pro-business liberals aren't "real" liberals.Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd

Face facts. This is a well worn rhetorical trope amongst tweb conservatives, that people who are conservative-like Mitt Romney, John McCain, etc.-aren't actually conservative because they don't hit all the points you guys want them to hit. Absurd. Conservative and liberal are a spectrum.

And some people actually tried to pretend Obama was "progressive", rather than the center-right President he so obviously was."As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths." Isaiah 3:12

It appears the billionaires are pretty evenly split between Democrats and Republicans.
I don't see the Libertarian party as anything more than a blip on the radar.Actually YOU put Trump in the White House. He wouldn't have gotten 1% of the vote if it wasn't for the widespread spiritual and cultural devastation caused by progressive policies. There's no "this country" left with your immigration policies, your "allies" are worthless and even more suicidal than you are and democracy is a sick joke that I hope nobody ever thinks about repeating when the current order collapses. - Darth_Executor striking a conciliatory note in Civics 101
