Conservatives attack liberals as if they were the ruination of man. As always, corrupters are talking about themselves. It's all they know; and they need to pretend that someone else has that problem more than they do.

An inherent property of corruption and inseparable part of the conservative assault upon their opponents is a complete absence of explanation. Attack words including name calling are the totality of their degradations.

liberalism can at least be defined constructively; the conservative cause cannot. The conservative cause taking the form of fascism transforming into Nazism shows its underlying purpose. The fascism and Nazism show that conservatives are promoting a destructive cause, which goes way beyond the frivolous isms of politics.

The conservatives who go down the fascism and Nazism path have the purpose of obliterating ordered existence including democratic government; and that result has become the prevailing and overwhelming force in politics—so much so that conservatives have been writing up plans for destroying opponents, government and democracy in the expectation of Trump getting elected again.

Those purposes have been embedded in the conservative cause since being instituted as the official normalcy by Reaganites in 1981. Reagan said, government is the problem. Throwing out critical laws as so-called deregulation is how they proceeded. With critical banking laws thrown out, power mongers extracted the resources of society draining the economy dry for the public and then redistributed the lucre through gambling casinos such as the stock market for the purpose of redesigning the social order around mongering power. "Irrational exuberance" meant changing the purpose of the stock market from investments to social activism. "Meme" investing is the label used for making Trump's web site worth billions of dollars after losing $58 million on nothing but a bag of expenses with no redeeming value.

The Reaganites referred to their cause as "a new normal," which means they not only believed in it but expected everyone else to also and re-arrange the social order around that purpose. When Reagan got elected a second time, he said the result was "morning in America"—a belief system, not a political alternative.

Reagan also said, if you need to explain, you are already a loser. He assumed the purpose in life is to be a winner and rationality is for fools. Rationality requires explanation of claims. Being a winner requires mongering power—the real ruination of man.

Everything needs criticizing and always produces enough deviation to find wrongs within it. So there would be a thread of truth to be found in any opposition. But that's not the problem. The real problem is the pretense that the conservative cause is the answer to something. It's not respectable, let alone the answer to something. The reasons why can be explained, unlike conservatives attacking their enemies at the name-calling standard.

In fact, what conservatives hate about liberalism is what it does right. It's the rationality that characterizes liberalism that conservatives can't stand. Their hate for rationality is expressed in the attack upon so-called woke. After the conservative harangue as anti-woke, everyone knows woke means rationality. When the general public is asked what woke means, they describe rationality, not some obscure history of black culture, which is undefinable and unknown to the persons who are supposed to oppose woke.

The conservative cause began to take its recent form with television during the 1950s, as people observed William Buckley promoting elitism and bigotry. Then it got a boost, as Senator Goldwater promoted it in terms of bombing Hanoi, which broadened the cause to include belligerence against enemies. The cause then became a defining and successful political purpose with Reaganism in 1981.

Liberalism took its modern form with the transforming print media of the 1950s, 60s and 70s, which generated a lot of social discussion. The social discussion created an evolved concept of liberalism, which took the form of promoting social justice and acquired a lot of complex elements including assistance to the needy and constructive legal processes.

Those purposes are definably constructive, while nothing about the conservative cause, in its application rather than misrepresentations, can be defined as constructive.

Before conservatives flipped the political purposes upside down in 1981, liberals were describing liberalism as "promoting equal opportunity." Nothing could be more antithetical to the conservative cause than equal opportunity, as Trump shows in his attack upon any types of persons other than white racists.

After conservatives redefined normalcy in terms of their political cause, liberals in politics had to stop calling themselves liberals because of the conservative assault and debasement of liberalism.

Trump shows how the conservative cause works through his blatant and open obnoxiousness. He doesn't know how to conceal as other conservatives do in attempting to lie about their purposes—pretending to be balancing budgets while burning trillions of tax dollars on corporation stock buy-backs and cutting social programs of every type. During every election, conservatives pretend to be stopping crime, while they increase crime by fighting a war against the lower classes and promoting gun availability. Trump doesn't know how to say the opposite of what he is doing, as other conservatives do. So he promotes white racism openly instead of through covert means.
