And on that -- the attempt to conserve what's good and oppose what's bad about the present -- I am usually on the side of conservatives.

Many often confuse a comfortable descent into decline with conservative. For conservative to mean anything it has to be based on an understanding of the nature of institutions and how they should work. Ours are on cracked foundations. Pretending otherwise is not conservative.

In 2020 we’re probably looking at an electoral outcome with Democrats holding both legislatures and executive and a SCOTUS mostly cowed into submitting to the leftward drift. A lot of energy will be made to end the filibuster and alter electoral process to favor blue states.

At that point we become the United States of California. I live in California. You don’t want the country to become California.

The Pelosi party will celebrate just before they’re purged by the generation of AOC, and suddenly folks will realize the difference between Trump’s mobs and the Democrat Party’s mobs is latter is made up of the up and coming generation.

I don't really disagree with you on that. I just don't think SCOTUS voting to overturn Roe is going to make a bit of difference to that.

Just to be clear. It’s what constitutes being conservative. An 8-1 ruling on this reveals only 1 jurist is conservative properly understood. The other four on the “right” are different degrees of politically expedient.
