New page

In the United States, the ideology which self-identifies as "conservatism" is actually a gross misnomer.

First, it bears very little with "conservative" ideologies in other countries; second, it seems to be completely uninterested in "conserving" anything except power for the few -- and the fewer, the better.

It primarily operates by inventing "truths" which then cause its followers to reach fallacious conclusions regarding public policy, and to vote accordingly -- while antagonizing those of us who know better, and preventing any kind of meaningful dialogue between the two worldviews.

The latter aspect being essentially a form of trolling, it seems reasonable to distinguish between American "conservatism" and genuine forms of conservatism by referring to the former as "[[conservatrollism]]".

Conservatrolls are one of the two major wingnut varieties, and by far the more dangerous.

Conservatroll habits include:
* use of [[meaningless insults]]

+Disconservatives often believe that Democrats buy the votes of minorities with government handouts (welfare) and then view any minority individual who does not ally themselves with liberal/Democratic causes as a traitor. The phrase "going off the reservation" is sometimes used to describe such perceived disloyalty. Disconservatives of this ilk apparently find it obvious that minority votes were not (indeed, could not possibly be) obtained by legitimate means but rather via some form of mind-control, since any {{l/cd|think}}ing person would be a disconservative.
