They are a very loud minority. I like to think they are. I think Donald Trump is doing a good job of exposing the true ugliness of the party.

i think conservatism by its very nature requires a certain "dying off" period as society changes and people learn to accept those changes. but i don't think conservatism as a general approach to societal issues will ever go away, nor should it; it's good to have those who value tradition, even if they are sometimes wrong.

Fiscal Conservatives are abundant and actually the majority. On the contrary the majority of people are socially Liberal. So it's really a stretch to say Conservatives are dying off. Some old Conservative social ideas are dying out.

i'm not trying to contest your points, but just out of curiosity, how would you define a fiscal conservative?

Basically it means avoiding deficit by reducing government spending and not spending more than you make. Lowering our national debt. Small government.

but imo i see conservatives as dead weight in the system
they hold on too religion and there believe systems so tightly that that wanna block other from breaking free
i think if this country was all liberal the war on drugs would be ended immediately

A Conservative is a fed up Liberal.
After 30 years of bullshit, if a Liberal didn't turn into a Conservative, he's probably high or crazy.
Being a Liberal is for young people that still have dreams, hope and ambition. It's a young man's game. Conservativism is for older people that have become realist, mature and experienced. It comes through time.
Both exist to keep the other from going overboard. The Conservatives holds the Liberals to the ground to prevent them from flying off to Lalaland and while doing so, it distracts the Conservatives enough to prevent them from burning down government with everyone inside it. It's a symbiotic relatioship

People turn conservative when they wise up, mature and gain life experience. Liberals are typically young, shallow, immature and inexperienced.

Funny my grandfather was extremely successful and old and was a hardcore liberal. Also my mother is very successful and getting old and is still very liberal.

that's funny. so anyone whom you see as any of those things will automatically be presumed to be a liberal, based on no real evidence. no?

thats why conservatives are always shit of social issues
like for instance they are anti obama care because they'er too brainwashed to see that the republican politicians they follow get bribed to go against it.
why would anyone be against diverting our tax money from war to helping out our fellow man

Why are people still identifying themselves with ANY political party?
"People turn conservative when they wise up, mature and gain life experience. Liberals are typically young, shallow, immature and inexperienced."
Are you kidding me? Do you know how many young "conservatives" there are who don't know shit?
Mature and wising up? Comical. The average American adult watches more TV and spends more time "socializing" way too much on social media and has no idea what the fuck is going on around them.
And that's truth, because I said so. Just like you did.

A good government requires both Liberals and Conservatives.
Just like nature. When a forrest has lot of wolves, they eat more deer. When there aren't enough deer left for the entire pack, wolves start starving to death and suddenly there are less predators and the deer population shoots up again which means more wolves can be born, etc. Cycle of life.
Protons need electrons and electrons need protons. They are complete opposites, but they need each other to become greater than themselves in order to build molecules.
One without the other become unstable, reactive, then radio active and then everything blows up in your face and you're left wondering what went wrong...
