I’m a conservative who wants to conserve the environment. I’m not MAGA.

That’s why I prefer the term “conservationist”

The word “conservative” has lost all meaning in politics because those who call themselves conservative aren’t conserving anything, they’re throwing the country into a socioeconomic tailspin while changing a ton of laws, which is the exact opposite of conserving a society.

- Donald’s changing the color of the reflecting pool in the Lincoln Memorial. - He has demolished the East Wing of the White House. - He used so many of our missiles in Iran they will not be able to restore inventory until 2029 at the soonest. What exactly is he conserving?

I know ALOT of conservatives who don’t necessarily think like that. Making a blanket statement like that hurts the “good conservative” or moderates who have slightly more conservative leaning views. Every conservative I’ve meet have been pro- protecting the environment. Most have gone on “trash hunts” (where they go lose in parks and pick up trash) just for fun.

Calling the modern Republican Party “conservatives” is so inaccurate. They don’t conserve they consume.

Conservative is slowly starting to mean conserving the traditions of the 1850s-1950s US

conservatives, as name suggests, aim only to conserve the current power structure. So the rich get richer and the poor get poorer because that will always be the incentive of the ruling, powerful class. This gives billionaires free rein to do as they wish and destroy the earth.

God made us custodians of the Earth, first to harvest from, than to make it more fruitful. The Earth is among the creations of God, we should not despoil it nor corrupt this creation.

we need more ppl like you! as much as im glad you love the environment, this is clearly not a commonly held conservative belief. most conservative & republican policy makers actively roll back environmental protections to prioritize economic growth

I didn’t realize that my bad queen/king. Yeah, but it completely sucks. I’m hoping that we get some more “Young blood” in there who do want to protect the environment.

One day when I have kids, I don’t want them to grow up in a world where nothing exist, or where every little thing can kill them.

Also his administration has opened so many acres of public land to oil, gas, and mineral leasing. He’s loosening logging restrictions in national forests. He’a proposing the sale of hundreds of thousands of acres of public land near cities.

I don’t even think you can say they’re conserving that, rising cost of living is making it harder for everyone to keep the quality of life they had 3, 5, 10 years ago, even people who claim they’re conserving it

I think our technological and societal state is too different to make that comparison. Society is too globalized, interconnected, and completely technologically different. The keys to power are completely different, whereas 100 years ago power was determined by industry and raw military might, now it’s all intelligence networks and technological capability. Society is controlled in a completely different manner than it was before

If it wasn’t clear I meant the segregation part. Conservatism is becoming the poster child for white supremacy in America.
