A little sympathy for the dinosaurs of conservatism. They've had a tough century. They wanted women to stay in the kitchen but they didn't. They wanted gays and lesbians to stay in the closet but they didn't. They wanted racial minorities to "stay in their place" but they didn't...
On the other hand, they have managed to draw support from Neo-Nazis and supremacist goons, which might be a small comfort to them.
