F*****ts are not right wing. F*****m, like C*******m advocates an extremely powerful and authoritative government, which is repugnant to Conservatives. Both feature a severe curtailment of individual rights in favor of "the state," once more, abhorrent to Conservatives.
Funny how Conservatives today are the Liberals of yesterday, espousing Locke's principles of limited government.
And yet you embraced the most authoritarian president in Donald Trump we've had to date who isolated democracies and embraced authoritarian leaders such as Putin.
Characteristics of F*****m...
1. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism...One of the first things Trump espoused.
2. All-encompassing military supremacy...This is far more conservative than anything Locke said.
3. Disregard for Human Rights...Womens rights, minority rights, LBGTQ...just to name a few.
4. Identification of Enemies as a Unifying Cause...The brown hoard at our border, keeping Muslims out of our country, B*M, A****A, Liberalism, etc.
5. Widespread Sexism...Conservatives have fought against women's rights at every turn.
6. Obsession with National Security...Goes without saying...
7. Religion and Government are Intertwined...Goes without saying...
8. Corporate Power is Protected...Goes without saying...
9. Labor Power is Suppressed...Goes without saying.
10. Disrespect for Intellectuals and the Arts...Goes without saying...
11. Obsession with Crime and Punishment...Goes without saying....
Does any of this sound familiar? The above is the very definition of what it is to be an American Conservative! You people live and breathe F*****m far more than you do any of Locke's principles...
