Conservatism

Theoretically, there's plenty of reasons to be a conservative.  However, since 1964, Conservatism's two biggest victories seem to be:

1) tax cuts for the wealthiest people

2) absurdly harsh prison sentences for black men found with an ounce of drugs.

I mean, thats it? That's the entire back of the TOPPS baseball card for conservatism? Really?

After almost 50 years, at some point someone needs to stand up and say "well, that was a waste of fucking time" and start over, no?

Maybe it's a corollary to your first point but convincing millions of people to vote against their own best interests is genius. Machiavellian and immoral, but genius.
