In the beginning of the United States ๐บ๐ธ the original conservatives believed in a strong centralized government ( Hamilton and Adams, Washington among them). If you were to ask the modern Americans who call ๐ call themselves conservatives they wouldn’t agree. Those original conservatives believed in a very heavy tax code( Real estate and liquor ๐ฅ taxes the chief taxes).
The late ⏰ 19th century Americans who ๐ themselves conservatives would be appalled ๐คฏ of the interference of business by those who call ๐ themselves conservatives.
In the beginning of the 20th century the conservative movement was anti large military ๐ชthough the original American ๐บ๐ธ conservatives were just the opposite. The newer conservatives are for a large and stronger ๐ฆพmilitary ๐ช.
Those who call ๐ themselves conservatives today have a problem with collecting taxes. It’s as almost ๐
they don’t want taxes to be collected as they refuse to adequately fund the IRS. And they call ๐ that being a conservative๐ค๐คท.
They tell businesses how to run their businesses ( as if their businesses were part of government ( think ๐ค Twitter, Facebook and Google) must carry their nonsense ๐)
Those who call ๐ themselves conservatives are telling businesses that they can’t insist on vaccinations ๐of employees and can’t insist on masks ๐ท. Texas conservatives are even acting like the old communist GDP in encouraging citizens to rat ๐ on each other in their abortion law.
In my humble opinion this this is further proof that conservatism is dying if not dead ☠️ in America.
*** Barry Goldwater whom some called the father of modern conservatism believed in abortion rights, integration ( though not federal government mandate) and women’s right.
*** Richard Nixon opened the door to ๐จ๐ณ, Affirmative action, permanent cola for Social Security.
