' conservative ranks continue to dwindle by attrition as would-be recruits are turned away.' The modern conservative party is a majority of conservatism as well as a lost cause. Traditional conservatives are great and I support them however they are a minority in their own party. You yourself state the problem. Recruits dwindle and a quickening pace. In this age, Trad conservatives are politically closer to national socialism than modern conservatives. Therefore it would be wise for trad cons to leave the conservative in name only party and join the winning right. Racial consciousness is the way. Dont confuse trad conservative idealism with modern conservatives.
