While the grassroots may disagree on the means from time to time, the end goal of the conservative movement remains the same: put government in its proper size and role in order to ensure that individual liberty is maximized. That includes our state government, where we are doing pretty well in comparison to other states, but know we can do better.

Today’s conservatives are only that in name.

Really? Because the only people offended are conservatives who ingest nothing but conservative news and social media. The rest of the country either doesn't care or has the ability to understand what he was kneeling for and it wasn't to offend America, the troops, or the people.
You should know a US military vet is the one who told him he should kneel out of respect and yet conservatives ignore that and cry, cry, cry that he's being sooo disrespectful, especially against the military. If kneeling triggers you then you should know there is no safe space big enough to ever protect you.

I support his right to kneel during the anthem, but I also respect people's rights to quit watching NFL games because it pisses them off.

Democratic Socialists should be supporting whats-his-name.
Hell, the guy is enamored with Che Guevara.
He isn't "protesting government police state tyranny".
He just wants less cops, more crime and a bigger government.
Not exactly a typical Conservative stance.
I think you didn't think this OP through.

I imagine they don’t support Kaepernick for the same reason we never see conservatives angry when Americans in the ghetto get shot for practicing their 2nd Amendment rights, which conservatives have as a main part of their platform.
They aren’t their demographic, so they don’t care. Today’s conservatives are only that in name.
And plus, Donald Trump told them it’s about the flag. So they believe that. Lmao.
