Why is conservatism failing?

Because it is failing to correspond with reality.

Both Conservatism and Liberalism seem to have always failed throughout history, it doesn't make sense if you really sit down and think about it? Like Conservatism fails and Liberalism is established then it turns to socialism/communism then tyranny and after a revolution or rebellion it will go back to conservatism or democracy? It's crazy

It's failing?

How? The philosophy works so well for me.

If you're asking why people are turning away from conservatism, well, that's because liberalism is easier and more friendly. It doesn't generally work, but it's so open to limitless potential ideas, that even in light of it's many failures through the rigorous testing and hypothesis, people are willing to put their faith in the unknown than in something difficult and archaic (albeit effective).

Gun Safety Bill in Senate Will Exclude Assault Weapons Ban

March 19, 2013

'The Senate next month will consider a bill to increase the penalties for people who buy and sell illegal guns, a measure greatly reduced in scope and reach from the gun safety agenda sought by President Obama.

'The bill will not include the reinstatement of an assault weapons ban, championed by Senator Dianne Feinstein of California, who met the measure’s demise with anger and despondency.

'For 10 minutes, Ms. Feinstein held forth on her rage and disappointment. “How many assault weapons do you need circulating?” she asked, noting that her bill, which had almost no chance of ever having a hearing in the House, exempted many weapons. “To have these mass killings is such a blight on everything that America stands for.” '

nicely conservativism is a relative term. interior the classic experience it skill that the techniques that we've issues have worked the wonderful for a on a similar time as, so with a view to alter issues we'd desire to constantly might desire to have a especially sturdy reason to alter them. "Conservativism" failed interior the gun poweder empires of the Islamic international yet made loads of the spine of the 2d British Empire interior the 1800s. yet once you recommend conservativism interior the well-liked experience (Seventies and after) it hasn't constantly failed. Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher set precedents interior the u . s . and uk, and watched the unraveling of the U.S.. even with the undeniable fact that i will declare that immediately it variety of feels maximum conservatives, a minimum of interior the u . s .

So till the Republican social gathering interior the u . s . can come again to having extra Republicans like John McCain, who're prepared to make compromises and be not as severe approximately issues, i think of they're set up for a dropping streak.

As evidenced by a 17 trillion dollar debt and high unemployment.
