    But conservatives want a big state too, they just claim otherwise. Look how they push rhetoric like “back the blue,” are for abortion restrictions, and want to fund the military above and beyond what it even asks for. Their policies push a soft ethno-state, as far as they think they can get away with.

    Again, it’s a meaningless distinction.

      Saying “conservatives” is often difficult because conservatism is a big tent of realists to varying degrees.

      Evangelical Christians certainly care about abortion a lot. The Social Darwinists want it cheap, legal, and easily accessed however.

        Well @neuromancer clearly doesn’t take issue with your ethnostate garbage, so he obviously thinks you’re allies.

        That’s the “big tent” you’re taking about, yes?

          Lots of people realize that a mono-ethnic society is a necessary but not sufficient condition for survival, even some Leftists.

          I cannot speak for the opinions of others.
