Conservative Movement

There’s a growing tone in parts of the Republican Party – loud, bitter, and angry. It presents itself as strength, as boldness, as “fighting back.” But listen closely, and you’ll hear something else beneath it: fear.

You see it in the endless purity tests.

In the public shaming of fellow Republicans.

In the weaponized use of the word “RINO.”

In the obsession with rooting people out instead of bringing people in.

This isn’t what strength looks like. It’s what fear looks like when it’s dressed in patriotism and broadcast through a megaphone.
