It's All Politics
Both left-wing and right-wing news sources demoralize conservatives and regular people.

The real takeaway is that conservatism fails. It's time for a revolutionary-traditionalist approach.

The lesson of "the radical left keeps winning" is that radicalism works. A committed minority is always able to defeat a disorganized majority. What we need is a revolutionary vanguard, a cadre of right-wing radicals to lead us into a brighter future.

Moreso, current politics illustrates a major shortfall of modern capitalism- it is designed for short term gains and does not account for long-term ramifications of quarterly profits. Capitalism has caused the functional majority to become atomized and to prioritize their bank accounts over their community/people/country/world. We have gutted culture, demographics, the environment, and tradition all in the name of more money.
Hell, we haven't even attained greater material wealth or scientific progress to reflect our wealth/GDP- our bigger bank accounts are propped by foreign child labor and poisonous product like corn syrup and consumer garbage.
We have essentially abandoned what makes us human.

So you're saying that conservativism needs to refocus on cultural and environmental health rather than the political/economic ideologies? I think the disconnect is that conservative donors are corporate lobbyists who require their bought politicians to facilitate easier and higher profits, whereas the leftist lobbyists are backed by groups regular people identify with (culturally) - lgbt, black, pro-choice. Leftist people connect with leftist politics more seamlessly than conservative people with conservative politics.

That's a very insightful comment. I'd agree 100%. Conservatism needs to actually "conserve" what is good from the past.
