I would be opposed to the existence of even the most ideal conservative movement, because the fundamental bedrock ideas of it are that capitalism should be promoted and that governmental intervention is not ideal. This doesn't even touch on the fact that we spend more than the next ten countries combined on our military, which is such a given in American governance that I don't even consider it to be a left/right proposition. Although I would consider it the one area of government a no-true-Scotsman platonic conservative would fund without question.
But we don't have an "ideal" conservative movement. We have what reactionary thought has always been: a loosely tied coalition of grievances between disparate groups who are unable to muster political will on their own. Reactionary and conservative thought will always be nothing more than a bunch of knee-jerking collection of personality disorders who are angry that 1) some peoples have more recognition and rights than they did before and 2) the idea that a better world is possible through collective action.
Modern American conservative "thought" does not exist without losers and villains. If you fail in capitalism you are a loser (nevermind that capitalism is inherently competitive, and therefore naturally produces losers). If you are an illegal immigrant who came here to take a job that was offered to you then you are a villain. These are predictable outcomes of our current system and necessary for the current functioning of our country. It would somehow be more monstrous if American conservative thought was able to acknowledge this; instead they play Fortress America and pretend that the poor and the illegals are what are making American capitalism not function at 100% capacity, when it actually it is functioning as intended.
Also @verv maybe listen to the people who are saying that rubbing elbows with nazis because you love ideas isn't a good... idea. If you love ideas so much friend people who aren't nazis online. Like Jesus Christ you defended Nick Fuentes, why would you put yourself in such a weak ideological position?
Just to reiterate: All conservative and reactionary thought is stupid and invalid. If you are rightwing you are retarded. There are literally zero conservative philosophers alive right now, all you have are MLM style conmen. Conservativism is dead and has been replaced with middle men selling you virility pills, as was intended by the ideology the original thinkers espoused.
