Hmmmm
Does that almost, by definition, define conservatism?

the term
the term 'MAGA' defines conservatism. America should always go forward and improve. Not go backwards. No need to recapture a flawed past. The FEAR is that the Country will no longer be ruled by White men (conservatives). And the darkies will take over. This deep fear is the cause of all this racial tension. Though they don't say so. It is unspoken, and only referred to with dog-whistles, and conservative immigration and law and order policies. Hogfysshe has defined the phobia. By another name it is known as 'tribalism'

Joe Biden & DNC's phobia
youtu.be

Joe Biden has public phobia. He is avoiding close encounters with public and reporters who may ask silly questions. DNC top politicians have hidden agenda.
