Corporate conservative ideology

There are some progressives who advocate Trump: A Clinton II victory pretty much guarantees a revival of the Republican party in 2018 and 2020. A Trump victory could see its collapse; but we would have a Pense presidency in the end.

I strongly disagree with conservative ideology and the lawlessness of libertarian: Hillary Clinton is a republican conservative, aka, neo liberal. But you could argue that conservative and libertarian policies in our economics led to much deregulation and financial crises since the eighties when one of the Koch bros. ran on the libertarian ticket; and since the eighties when conservationism really took root under Reagan and flourished under the neoliberal banner of Clinton I.

Conservative and libertarian ideals sustain separate but equal laws but frame them as self-determination; conservative policy and ideology promote bigotry and divisiveness but call it self-reliance and rugged individualism; and conservative ideology assumes the playing field in the US is level for all, which it has never been. Some people's refusal to acknowledge these simple truths is continually disheartening; but that's why fear is such a manipulable commodity I guess: conservativism in the end is xenophobia accepted; enforced with a gun.

But I digress. Trump makes the establishment nervous because he could really damage the status quo. Yet the bigotry that he bears and brings out in people who want a specific type of change that continues to only benefit the privileged few...well, this is the most I've ever spoken about the man and I will let it go there.

Bernie was the man.

Corporate Conservative ideology condones turning a blind eye to historic oppression by the privileged against the vulnerable. Even establishment Democrats are conservative now, and have been since the early 90's. I think people can find, and do have the courage to be more inclusive in their world views. This is my hope for you all, and others.
