I'm curious.
Many on (or near) the right suspect and dread a new civil war.
All we've seen is casual mocking from the more left-leaning members.
Is it because they don't think there will be a war, or do they think they will win it?
Wait the conservatives, who are pro constitution and many are very strict constitutionalists, like the founders who WROTE that constitution, are the British?

At least your ignorant drift into a mad max scenario would be fiscally responsible, with wars on everything and eternal quantitative easing. Too big to fail.
Except they have literally stated that they want to destroy the system. Besides them stating it, look what they are doing, they are quite literally trying to destroy the system as it stands so they can implement their own.
How do you breathe with your head so far in the sand?

You are all over the place.
What did you mean by this?

Conservatism is a political and social philosophy promoting traditional social institutions in the context of culture and civilization. The central tenets of conservatism include tradition, human imperfection, hierarchy, authority, and property rights.[1] Conservatives seek to preserve a range of institutions such as monarchy, religion, parliamentary government, and property rights, with the aim of emphasizing social stability and continuity.[2] The more extreme elements—reactionaries—oppose modernism and seek a return to "the way things were"
Liberalism is a political and economic doctrine that emphasizes individual autonomy, equality of opportunity, and the protection of individual rights (primarily to life, liberty, and property), originally against the state and later against both the state and private economic actors, including businesses.

And who is supposed to argue with that?

Most colonists were apathetic during the revolutionary war. Dunno about participation during the civil war in the 1860's.
But 50% participation is enough to drive even the most reluctant, apathetic person.
