Blog 7- The Progressive Era

 American Conservatism 

            This website has some very interesting blogs, articles, and current events being discussed at a conservative level. Being on a specific side, it is beneficial to understand how conservatism works. This website takes the topic of foreign affairs very seriously. 

            I read a very good article on the American conservative website talking about how being a conservative or democrat does not really matter anymore. It is called “Conservatism Is A Collection Of Losers. It Doesn’t Have to Be.” All that matters is everyone getting what they want in this country. Donald Trump once said, “I’m a conservative but at this point who cares? We’ve got to straighten out the country.”

            More of what the article talks about is that the past 20 years, “conservative thinkers” have influenced barley anyone beyond the next generation of downwardly mobile graduate students. Conservatives have rationalized their political impotence by dressing up in bowties and pretending to speak for what they imagine to be the real establishment. 

            In the article, it talks about how this next generation could change political views forever. The future of fake news, manipulative lies, and false stories must come to an end. It is up to society to be the future and change the world with the power they have. As the article says, “power corrupts, but powerlessness corrupts, too.”
