We got a little snow
We got dumped on
I know I'm late, but what Patrick describes a conservative seems to be what I thought was NRx
Am I wrong?
In <#497878998949429249>
I had school cancelled two days
Due to weather?
@Distracted Conservatism used to be reactionary.
Right
no longer
Sad!
so no, you're not wrong :^)
You have been visited by the baby of Doxxing Invisibility
You will be blessed with 90 days of dox invincibility... but only if you reply: "Sleep tight star child"
Lol
Modern conservatism consists of free-market fundamentalism, surrendering on all social issues except abortion at times, and foreign intervention for "democracy" and Israel.
Idk where the "conserving" is in the that
Indeed
that article linked in <#497878998949429249> outlines it well.
Sleep tight star child
Thanks @Distracted you too
@Distracted Your instincts are 💯
It's been a minute since I read it myself. IMO besides a backbone or cohesive platform (lol) the GOP's biggest shortcoming is her inability to brand or frame issues properly
inability or lack of intent to
Press F for my right (wing) headphone. Dire omen.
The GOP has no serious/well-thought out stance on many hot-button issues and that's concerning if someone wants to do political activism for a Republican candidate.
I would have a hard time campaigning and volunteering for tepid candidates from a treacherous and surrender prone party. I am not telling anyone else to not help the GOP. Do especially help if there is a more nationalist primary challenger. But if you're stuck with entrenched cucks that refuse to stand up to cultural marxists, maybe money and time is better spent on Identitarian and other causes
Luckily, Josh Hawley, newly-elected Senator from Missouri, didn't vote for this dumb bill, which fortunately makes me not regret campaigning for him.
It's hard where I'm at to do IE activism because not a lot of members are in my area. Also, not to criticize banners drops/usual activism, but I'd prefer to get to talk to people, explain the issues, and try and convince them, as I feel comfortable doing that. But I don't think I'll be going door-to-door handing out pamphlets about white demographic decline anytime soon.
@NiceGuy I believe we have a few MO members, I think it's valuable also just to meet and build friendships with members. It's part of building our better society
@ThisIsChris And I hope to do a meet-up and do activism. Problem is with school and sometimes work take up time, and I'd have to drive at least 2 hours to get to any event. The summertime may be a good time for a MO event, at least for my availability.
MO ftw
@NiceGuy let's get you in touch with a local coordinator and find who's reasonably close
@ThisIsChris That would be great. I'm in the regional server but I don't think Missouri has a coordinator, though I may be wrong.
@NiceGuy what state(s) outside missouri are you closest to?
@ThisIsChris Very close to Illinois
Perfect!
I wonder if @AltRightMick can help you out here to let you know who is close by that he knows of. @AltRightMick is our Illinois coordinator. He's not on-line at the moment but should see this message when he comes back on. @NiceGuy
Great!
Thanks for bringing it up @NiceGuy , we try our best to get our members connected. Our motivation for the pledge program was to have a first step in getting people integrated but there's always going to be more steps.
@ThisIsChris Well I joined back in June but I've haven't down a good job at connecting with people regionally. This was partially due to working on a political campaign since May going door-knocking 2-4 times a week in the summer, but also my lack of effort. But electoral politics are not the full answer, as wee all know; more needs to be done outside of getting more guys with Rs next to their name in office.
