conservatism has done a lot of good for the country.
I’m not attacking you for saying this, but from my perspective conservatism has many misguided ideas like using supply-side economics (which historically doesn’t work), or removing regulations that protect businesses from hurting or taking advantage of people (a recent example of which is Net Neutrality).
I am genuinely interested in having examples of how conservatism has helped this country, and as a Democrat I’d like to hear it from someone who isn’t full of Fox News talking points. (Also I’m not saying that liberalism is somehow superior.)
In a room full of people who do not believe that certain conservative principles are worthwhile, it’s hard to argue for the value of certain conservative strengths. I agree with CatBus that ACA was actually a good conservative move, even if most Republicans are opposed to it. I don’t have the time to go into depth or do the research, but there are good conservative principles that even the Democrats support, whether they realize it or not.
