Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.
— Frank Wilhoit, 2018
well-put
The American definition of conservative and liberal stopped following fiscal policies decades ago, with both major parties. It only refers to some social aspects now, and even that's a stretch at times.
Indeed; it was more or less a rhetorical question.
Not sure it is sadly. A lot of people still think that those descriptors apply... In large part because of the media's complicity in spreading any falsehood they're fed in exchange for maximum revenue.
