Conservatives are trying to engage in the culture wars as much as possible to distract from the fact that:

America was certainly founded under the principals of classical liberalism, which doesn't mean what most people think it does, and even the republican party exists squarely in the middle of it.

Having a conversation with the public that, in the "big picture of global politics" that American conservatives are really just another type of liberal, is too confusing for the average US voter, and it's much easier for people to identify a group of people as being "the enemy" and the group of people they support as being "friends."

So, the political culture in America ends up being groups of people with similarities, rather than people who share in similar political ideologies.

Politicians would rather try to find common ground with people on nonpolitical issues rather than divisive political ones, and the tactic is generally referred to as identity politics.

That's why the "owning the liberals" campaign has been so effective for the right. It's a simple strategy that goes hand and hand with identity politics.

Conservatives see this tactic as "winning the culture war" where as academic types of people look at what they are doing and think "wow, so they are kicking themselves in the balls to own the liberals? okay... /shrug."

But, that's how identity politics ends up playing out. The right wingers love it, the left hates it, and people like me (independents/moderates) just laugh at it.

Also, maintaining the views of classical liberalism in modern culture doesn't play out well, the libertarian party is somewhat close to being purely liberal and they seem like a bunch of hippies with guns to most people. The identity element doesn't work out in their favor. edit: Their political positions might sound good, but once most people see what the crowd of people clapping looks like, most people turn away from them.

You are literally trying so hard to engage in culture wars and so far nobody gives a shit about this.





If you read when I post, which I do quite often, you would get to know what conservatives stand for.

The data that I can clearly see in my marketing tools seems to disagree.

Granted, it's difficult to separate engagement and true interest in those tools.

Bro there is so much wrong with, just ugh…….

abortion
post birth abortion (lefties show they have no limits)
demand no questions asked taxes pay for it

child grooming

child mutilation

crotch glorification

people have problems with this and that surprises you? I dont say the left is bad I say they are criminals.
and biden is a good representative for them. looks like he was hand picked to represent a bunch of criminals.
almost as if the principalities and powers want to make it look obvious/be obvious.
funny scripture says "...they are without excuse"

Romans 1:20-21
King James Version

20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

when i was lost i had a bottle of whisky come before God. Worshiping whiskey? I somehow found the strength to choose God and was delivered.
Others have a rainbow cross on the cover of a bible. their rainbow cross comes before God. Worshiping genitals?

He has literally always looked like that. White liberals are such ridiculous losers. Communists need to smash the liberals before they spill over the center onto the left.

Smokey is obviously a strong communist icon. Powerful, rugged, smashes your "freedom" to harm public resources, is funded by the public, will maul your ass.
