They're too afraid to face their fear of the unfamiliar

Conservative is literally basically another way of saying someone who is afraid of change.

Look up the definition of 'conserve' and then sue leftist school teachers for stealing from the Left's collective what SHOULD have been a quality education.

We've had decades of liberals/progressives/leftists doing their best to gut traditions and standards and substitute their whacko Utopian 'standards' in place of . . . that have simply resulted in chaos and general violence where previously there had been minimal incidents.

This is what I mean by that conservatives are stuck in tradition. They also have bias. They don't see what HAS happened.

Conservatives know history and from that they can correctly extrapolate in regards to what toxic leftism is doing and is GOING to do to weaken and perhaps destroy this nation. That's the reality versus leftist fantasies.

It's their enlarged amygdalas.
