Carthage couldn't conceive of ruling Rome, so they were wiped out by the Romans who couldn't conceive of a Mediterranean not dominated by a single power. The Confederacy had no intention of ruling Yankees, so they were wiped out by the Union who had no intention of letting the empire fracture. The left believes they are engaged in a fight to the death with an existential enemy, and the right doesn't want to fight anyone. This is why conservatives are doomed to failure.
The sons of those conservatives don't perceive any difference between the two parties of the system. We were taught from our conservative elders that the entire game is rigged. Of course, these were not your average Americans. They were soldiers, who then became union organizers, activist, police, lawyers and business owners with the thought of upholding the country through our Democratic process and laws that adhere to the Constitution. And when those have failed in an authoritarian fashion, as they are today, be ready for a bloody fight.
The people ready for this fight are not conservative. They are the silent majority that are ready to uphold the traditions and values that the Constitution sets forth. Most of them see the party ideal as a failure, and remain at peace in the thought of "live and let live". Remove that, and the opposite occurs. But not from spite, and not from retaliation, but out of the desire to uphold the traditions and values this country tries to set forth, that are seen as monuments to those striving to break their own lands from tyranny, oppression and slavery.

A kindly reminder of Libya.
How are they not conservative if they are ready to uphold the traditions and values that the Constitution set forth?
