At their best, as a tiny minority, they can help us put the brakes on the progressive stuff that might be over the top. However, when they get into power, look out! They act as an anchor holding us back and a wrecking ball that destroys everything we've tried to build.

The whole world seems to have gone conservative in one way or another, from theocracies to dictatorships to our own wrecked democracy.

Let's hope the balance shifts back the other way very soon or they'll manage to kill us all.

She gave strong speeches, Reagan said "Tear down that wall" and the Soviet Union collapsed, it was like magic. You people need to be more grateful.
