Well, conservatives favor individual responsibility. "The Right" is a more mixed bag, with many elements of it only too happy to indulge in cult-of-personality group think, open racism, conspiracy theories, and the routine (and mindless) vilification of anyone slightly left of Genghis Khan. Care to explain how any of that squares with conservatism?
Yes, I know that pocket-book conservatives like you normally shouldn't have to defend the lunatic fringe of the right, but we're in the mess we have precisely because conservatives -- and more precisely, the GOP -- have courted these fuckers for years. Now you have them, and your nominee won the presidency by pandering to their worst instincts. You pricks now own this mess.
