      Contrary to conventional wisdom, Rush Limbaugh did not succeed in spreading conservatism, which steadily declined throughout his career, and which he abandoned himself toward the end of his life. https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2021/02/rush-limbaughs-rise-and-conservatisms-fall/618058/ …

      the fact that every conservative of note says limbaugh is a paradigmatic conservative is a problem for this argument

      What is conservatism? Is it what conservatives say and do? Or is it what centrists fantasize conservatives should say and should do? That's the debate.

          William F. Buckley provided the best definition: standing athwart history and saying "Stop!". So, belligerent snowflakism essentially.

          Seems like a pointless debate. It doesn’t mean anything, it does not have core principles, it’s just a group signifier

          Is something conservative because someone who says or does it claims they are a conservative?

          Is there a distinction worth a difference between "centrism" and conservatism? The whole idea of centrism, is trying to squat on the equilibrium point between other folks' battles.

          Another way to frame is that these folks continue to believe “conservatism” is an antiseptic and decontextualized set of “principles” as opposed to the things that motivate conservatives and the uses they use these principles for. Like u listen to the lyrics not the song.

          In fairness, I can remember conversations with fellow liberals-to-progressives that went about like a conversation with an AI phone system. "Did you say, 'marketplace of ideas?' Press '1' if you meant to say, 'bro-Nazism is great'; press '2' if you meant to say 'EVIL!!!'l

          The crux of the issue seems to be that a multitude of people over time and space label themselves as Conservative despite not agreeing in what that means.
