Does the fact that we think even "regular" conservatives have shitty beliefs make you feel better? Do conservatives want to fund public services? Do they want to reduce police funding? Do they want to reduce inequity and tax the rich? Trying to "conserve" the shitty past that we all share is a fucking shit ideology.
I could already imagine what you think of their ideology. The problem I have is with labeling a general political orientation as illegitimate.
They probably don't want to increase their funds. But yeah, public services exist for a reason. How many funds they should get it a debate to be had.
Probably not (?), though would you mind explaining what the whole police defunding demands are about? Is it just currently viewed as a waste of money or what?
They probably dont want to tax the rich more than they currently do, but yeah they would AFAIK still tax them (and tax them more than normal people). Inequality is a moral-based question again. You may find it fair if everyone has the same amount of money, someone else might find it fair that you get more money the more you earn, etc.
