Not sure I agree with this since they are running SO FAR to the extreme. They're actually pushing some of their moderates AWAY. Cue Princess Leia and her speech to Tarkin on the Death Star...
The problem is, they were smart enough to try biowarfare, instead of outright destruction; they looked at the krogan genophage and Rainbow Six and went "Maybe they are onto something." and got away with it because of media control and political corruption allowing a stolen election due to hate for Trump.
I mean back when I still had my blinders on, I believed that they're might be justification for it, due to 'exponential reproduction' fears mixed with overblown environmental issues.
However, a growing pop needs 4 kids to family, not the replacement 2.1, in case something happens to one or two and they don't reproduce themselves. We are gunning to start running out of people once the younger gens hit their 50s, and those of us in our 30s are likely going to be looking at a 'Children of Men' mixed with 1984 type world at the end of our lives, if things don't seriously change course, or get worse in a different fashion.
This is probably true, and once it gets deep enough INTO the Republican Party...boy howdy.
Yep; if we are lucky, the populist movement will be as strong as the pre-Bush JR GOP was, and America that strong again.
Conservatism is a dead end in modern politics. It offers no new answers to new, out-of-context black swan events/problems, and nothing that the Left doesn't really have a counter for already.
But melding conservatism with populism and libertarianism might create something that can fight toe-to-toe with the Far-Left, if the egos of those in charge of the movements, and the corrupt powers in DC, do not get in the way.
However, it will mean the tradcons will need to give up on trying to get the drivers seat. They've clearly lost the ablility to drive the political vehicle the rest of us are stuck in; it's time to pull grandpa's license.
