Modern-day liberals often theorize that conservatives use "social issues" as a way to mask economic objectives, but this is almost backward: the true goal of conservatism is to establish an aristocracy, which is a social and psychological condition of inequality.
People who believe that the aristocracy RIGHTFULLY dominates society, because of its intrinsic SUPERIORITY, are conservatives; democrats, by contrast, believe that they are of equal social worth. Conservatism is the antithesis of democracy. This has been true for thousands of years.
Conservatism in every place and time is founded on deception. The deceptions of conservatism today are especially sophisticated, simply because culture today is sufficiently democratic.
Conservatism continually twists the language of conscience into its opposite. It has no choice: conservatism is unjust, and cannot survive except by pretending to be the opposite of what it is.
The opposite of conservatism is democracy, and contempt for democracy is a constant thread in the history of conservative argument. Instead, conservatism has argued that society ought to be organized in a hierarchy of orders and classes and controlled by its uppermost hierarchical stratum, the aristocracy.
The truth is, the Right doesn’t expect a majority of Americans to support their policies, nor do they particularly care.
To start with, conservatism constantly shifts in its degree of authoritarianism. Conservatives have no difficulty claiming to be the party of freedom in one breath, and attacking civil liberties in the next.
To impose its order on society, conservatism must destroy civilization. In particular, conservatism must destroy conscience, democracy, reason, and language.
What is wrong with conservatism?
Answer: Conservatism is incompatible with democracy, prosperity, and civilization in general. It is a destructiveSystem of inequalityandPrejudice, that is founded on deception and has no place in the modern world.

The truth is, the Right doesn’t expect a majority of Americans to support their policies, nor do they particularly care.
Yet for all their wealth and power, the Right’s ideas are only growing more unpopular with time. When progressive policies appear on the ballot in a direct referendum, conservatives lose, time and again, be it right-to-work laws, minimum wage hikes, or Medicaid expansion, even in Republican strongholds.
