    “Conserving the corrupt establishment” is the only thing “conservative” has ever meant. Any claims to the contrary have only ever been lies intended to delude their marks and useful idiots.

      Implausible.

      It means many different things. [Thus cannot be “only”]

      Even if after the alleged original fact, that’s not “ever”.

      They don’t get to dictate the one true way, and rewrite history.

      And I suggest you should not be repeating their propaganda so.

          This still seems to fall foul of the orwellian contortion and conflation and inversion of language, subtly doing the very thing overtly advising shouldn’t be done. Can’t get there from here. [Edit: from where they’re capitulated to and held at the head of the hierarchy of who gets to define words.]
