Disconservatism

Overview

Conservatrollism is the name CWRE has designated for right-wing political "conservative" authoritarianism in the United States, in order to distinguish it from legitimate, fact-based forms of conservatism.

Conservatrollism is one of the major varieties of wingnuttery, and among the more dangerous at the political level.

Name

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 (because of the conservatroll reality inversion effect) 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".

Characteristics

Conservatroll habits include:

• use of meaningless insults
• belief that life is fair
• focus on perception-based thinking

Conservatrolls 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.

It is obvious to conservatrolls that minority votes were not obtained by legitimate means but rather via some form of mind-control, since any thinking person would be a conservatroll.
