Bruh, cats keep running this angle but never mention Nixon and Barry Goldwater explicitly taking us down this road. Add white evangelicals and its a wrap. Folks take social commonalities and equate it to what American defined conservatives (because global conservatism is not the same thing).
This is like saying single family zoning is fundamentally American and a good thing while ignoring that among many other things we live with today, it is directly rooted in racism. Cats let their rightful displeasure with progress and representation among Democrats push them in a bum ass, dumb ass direction.
