i find myself having a confusing blend of left politics stemming from a conservative base philosophy
what's it called when society lurches rightward and you're a nostalgic romanticist who wants to RETVRN but the thing you want to return to is a more tolerant time?
I’ve said for many, many years that in a sane America I would be a Republican of the Rockefeller Republican type (I mean, I’m an over educated Episcopalian). But America has not been sane for as long as I have been an adult, so I’m a center/center-left democrat.
Hah, someone said recently something like socialist for economics, liberal for politics, conservative for virtue (🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️affirming, obviously, I’m talking about loving my neighbor) and I felt so seen
if this is what is meant by conservatism, sure, but at present it means that one quote about being protected and not bound vs others who are bound and not protected and has for all of my life.
