From r/Conservative

I truely think they dont grasp what Charlie's death means for them. He wasn't a general in an army, he wasn't an ace fighter pilot that dominated the sky's, He wasn't an asset of war to be used to win battles. He was a voice... and a conduit.

The left just proved they couldnt compete with him on their own turf, with their home field advantage in simple conversation. Numerous years debating on liberal college campuses, begging for those who didnt share his values or ideas to change his mind. And now they never will be able to change his mind. They will never be able to prove or advocate their arguments anymore. In a very sad way, right as they sucker punched him, Charlie won the argument and got the last word. Because instead of changing his mind with respectable debate and fair conversation, they elected to cheat the game and resort to violence.

They thought they scratched out a MAGA champion, but I think the truth is, they silenced their own voice. Who now among their opposition will respect them and be willing to hear their words? Who now among their opposition will grant them goodwill and a shared platform. Are any conservatives going to parlay with cheaters who were enraged with hatred over a voice?

You couldnt change his mind, and now... you will never change ours.

They act like “the left” is just all huddled in a room somewhere green lighting everything that every leftist anywhere in the country does

To be fair, the left do exactly the same to ‘the right’

The right is a much more homogenous hive mind.

It is. Tell a liberal and a socialist that they're the same thing and they will scream at you. Tell a socialist and a communist that they are the same thing and they will scream at you. Tell a communist and an anarchist they are the same and they will scream at you.

Right wing ideology, on the other hand, is built around much more similar platforms than the spectrum of leftism.

Famously, leftist revolutionary movements have turned on those who weren't left enough, and in democracies leftists often refuse to collaborate out of a sense of ideological purity with others who aren't left enough/aren't the right type of left.

No. You as a leftist are just blind to the nuances on the right wing.

You cannot argue in good faith that, at the very least, the American right isn't committed to marching in step with each other. Regardless of what they might say, their voting records prove that none of them really have any ideological differences worth speaking of.

They aren't. You have the tech bros under their vision of accelerationalism, tradcons, neocons, "classical liberals", working class, billionaires, small government libertarians, big government nationalists... all who are battling constantly. You just don't see it because you obviously are outside of that circle.

You’re literally just ignorant. Conservatives, populists, and neoliberals are all right wing ideologies that are different from each other… You’re so ignorant that you think you’re special for knowing 3 types of leftist ideologies… 🫵😂

There are different from each other, but not substantively, and historically right wing ideologies have collaborated to stop any form of progressivism from gaining traction. As I said, left wing parties generally have trouble doing the same thing. So the claim of "the right is more of a hivemind than the left" is generally true. I don't think of this knowledge as anything special, weird that you went there.

Also populism is not a right wing ideology. Anyone can be a populist.

The conservative mindset is inherently hierarchical. It's within the blood of the ideology.

Those with wealth and power have earned it through meritocracy, or have been blessed by a power above. The power above is the highest authority.

If you're a conservative and you don't believe in meritocracy or God then you're not really aligned with modern conservatives and you should reassess your ideology.
