Conservatism is not a legitimate political ideology but a sociopathy instead. This is why Republicans and conservative Democrats oppose increased social spending for the unwashed masses - because their conservative beliefs are born of racism and classism.

Conservatism is not a legitimate political ideology but a sociopathy instead. This is why Republicans and conservative Democrats oppose increased social spending for the unwashed masses - because their conservative beliefs are born of racism and classism.
Conservatism can be summed up as follows: "I got mine so, to hell with you buddy!"
And, "I don't have your problems you lazy slob, so I don't care about your problems - problems I do not suffer."
It's worth noting the massive hypocrisy and cognitive dissonance the "Christian Right" evangelicals suffer while implementing and protecting policies wholly incongruent with Jesus' teachings.
Conservatism is a form of mental illness developed by long-term racism and classism.
The sooner we start treating conservatism as a sociopathy born of racism and classism, the better off we will be implementing progressive policies which benefit the middle class, the poor and the disabled.
The sooner progressive Democrats focus and sharpen progressive messaging much better than progressive Democrats have done, the sooner progressive Democrats start calling out racist politicians who support class warfare against the middle class and poor, the better off we will be in reaching progressive goals.
Political conservatism and capitalism go together like peanut butter and jelly. The USA is very conservative compared to other western democracies, and it is also devoted to free market capitalism. We have no paid maternity leave, for instance, or universal health care, etc that most other western democracies have. It just makes sense because, if society is just a competition for power and wealth, why would you ever want to help the other guy?
