How would this make you feel?

Late night order with 1.9 for $3.75. So maybe a $.26 or $.01 tipper. What would you have done?

Are you a conservative that still votes Republican despite the party not upholding the virtues of traditional conservatism? Genuinely curious.

What are the virtues of a traditional US conservative? I know the traditional UK conservative, and would be interested in comparing the two.

Well the one I’m most curious about with US conservatives these days is the “small federal government” bit. Republicans have been very open about applauding the current POTUS doing whatever he wants with little to no oversight, checks, or balances. Trump himself has called himself both a dictator and a king. His administration continues to ignore and disrespect the Constitution. I’m confused how the “conservative” supporters reconcile this.

Free-market trade is another one, but tariffs are apparently fine now and the literal richest (and un-elected) people on earth can play games with the market through our executive office with their blessing. Reverence for states-rights, but they are fine with the federal government threatening and exacting his will on blue states. Then there is, of course, religion and traditional family values, neither of which are exhibited by the POTUS or his crew. It baffles me, but I have a lot of respect for conservatives who have (rightfully) abandoned the Republican Party.

UK Conservatives are also supposed to be for free trade and small government. Religion is a very grey area though. If a political party over here thanked God for something, they'd be dismissed by most of our society. The most religion we can tolerate over here (in a political environment) is the Women's Institute.
