Conservatism is the conservation and preservation of traditional values. This includes theological, political, social, and economics. With moral absolutism tethered to the mix. You cannot be a conservative without being a traditionalist. Which also means a constitutionalists.

The momentum of the Overton window is created by propaganda. In this regard much of your comment is very much biased and somehow manages to ignore and even exclude most all of humanity from the same judgement.

Propaganda is a powerful force and has been in play for a very long time. Couched upon progressiveness, neo-con, evangelical christianity, and as such are simply sociopolitical labels of the same thing, positioned accordingly. Ultimately, no one is immune. The lack of immunity is certainly not conservative's fault and it is intellectually dishonest to single us out.

None of this means that the meme is accurate. Bluntly, it's laughably wrong and reveals profane ignorance on the part of OP and its supporters.

Conservatives are supposed to be many things but largely lacks leadership and role models. As such, most "conservatives" don't even know what it means, let alone if they even are.

The Overton window has convinced many that neo-cons are conservatives and then they self sort and label; albeit incorrectly. Imo, this is the largest source of confusion. Fact is, not only are we politically powerless, there are extremely few of us. Accordingly, OP's meme is as ignorant as it is malicious as it continues to feedback and acknowledge the propaganda which created OP's ignorance in the first place. As such, conservative ranks continue to dwindle by attrition as would-be recruits are turned away.

I'm proudly a conservative. I would laugh and point at OP but it's indicative of much broader societal sickness.

' 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.
