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
