Should we even call “Republicans” “conservatives”? They certainly aren’t concerned with “Res publica” (public things) and the only thing they want to conserve is their power.
I think real conservatives from Edmund Burke to Dwight Eisenhower would not want to be associated with them. Remember Eisenhower’s warning about the “military-industrial complex”.
