<< 1 capitalized a : the principles and policies of a Conservative party
b : the Conservative party
2 a : disposition in politics to preserve what is established
b : a political philosophy based on tradition and social stability,
stressing established institutions, and preferring gradual development
to abrupt change
3 : the tendency to prefer an existing or traditional situation to change
>>
how f*cked up is that? "we're the sticky party!" so reform to a
conservative means something like, metaphorically, exchanging a rolex for a
patek?
you know we liberals like things sudden and disruptive. we like change for
the sake of change - and we all wear swatches!
(90's: liberals try to shed their tax-&-spend reputations and describe
themselves as "socially liberal but fiscally conservative." new millennium:
conservatives try to spin their rapacious selfishness 180 degrees with the
buzzword "compassion." words so hollow you can climb right in and tune
everything else out.)
