Nice to see some reasonable and grounded conservative content. I don’t agree with most conservative social and economic positions, but I can respect someone who supports them in good faith. Pretty much everything I see coming from people who consider themselves conservative in the US today is…not that. I guess this is what you get when Fox News becomes the core of your party

The loudest people are often the most extreme, and that shows up most in American conservatives. The vast majority of conservatives are moderates which is why it's currently so easy for Democrats to get more conservatives to sometimes vote for them.

Unfortunately the politicians representing them now don’t seem to be. I wish we could somehow get a party that supports conservative policies with reasonable people and sound politics. Not this cult-like anti-truth, anti-science, fear-based messaging we have now. The US really needs a system that supports more than 2 parties
