I’m confused, what exactly is conservatism, and what does it represent? Conservatives are supposed to be the law and order party, but they put a convicted felon/adjudicated rapist/con man into the White House. They ignored the attack on our Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, while Congress was in session, and lives were lost. On that day, this president not only supported it, he instigated it.

These conservatives stand by as masked thugs break into cars and homes, pulling people out without just cause or warrants, and they refuse to identify themselves, just like the Nazi SS. Their president has taken independent national organizations like the FBI, attorney general and even the military and made them his own personal protectors, leaving the courts nobody to enforce decisions that he doesn’t agree with.

Conservatives are supposed to be against big government, something they accuse Democrats of supporting, while they eliminate Roe v. Wade and set women’s rights back 50 years. They also want to tell us who we can love and marry.

Somehow this is all OK. They burn books! They have a religious affiliation, yet they seem to have a problem healing the sick and feeding the poor. So people will have to forgive me if I
no longer fly the flag I used to love, or sing the national anthem.

This is no longer “The Land of The Free!”
