Florida conservatives are about to lose the 21st century

[Zorro]

Conservatism has a reflexive terror of anything that does not fit inside the white picket fence of its imagination.

They have never once been right.

Did you ever notice that? Do you ever think about it? Never once.

Oh, in matters of, say, foreign affairs or military strategy, one might contend that conservatives have had their moments, made arguments that, arguably, made sense. But on matters of social evolution, they’ve compiled a remarkable record: They’ve never been vindicated by history. Rather, they’ve always been repudiated by it, always been wrong.

You think that’s harsh? You think it’s overly sweeping? The record begs to differ.

1. It doesn't seem to matter to them how wrong they are or how often they are wrong. It's baffling

3. Left-right, liberal-conservative, etc are miss-the-mark labels

A better way to frame the divide in populations of various nations and cultures is to use different labels.
We need to see the deeper roots of social-political choices; it not ignorance, it is not selfishness.
The fracture is between humans valuing progress and those valuing regress.

The divide is between progressives and regressives.

It is a karmic thing, as in behavior habits and desires over time, this life, that progress the individual, as opposed to those karmic-habits that suppress the human and elevate the bestial in individuals.

The old-century-ists exhibit short-term versus long-term thinking, understanding, acting and progressing.
