2. Not a "conservative."

This word does NOT describe the fascistic, radical right and never did. "Conservatism" has basically died out in the U.S.

The fascists call themselves "conservatives" in order to make their vile ideas mainstream. They are not out to "conserve" anything but to destroy everything at the behest of their zillionaire backers.

The word "conservative" needs to be tossed into the trash bin as an archaic word. It has no realistic meaning in American politics.

Russell Vought is a dime-a-dozen fascist who fancies himself as a "libertarian," another word that needs to be tossed into the trash bin. Vought is the worst of the worst and needs to be run out of town on a rail, deported, or imprisoned as a traitor against the U.S.
