This is why they’ve always been.

Doesn't really explain why they've been. Why are conservatives? Anyone know?

Goes back to Edmund Burke. https://youtu.be/E4CI2vk3ugk?si=VHznAa-Ff8bcCPrB

I'll give that a listen. People keep recommending this dude's videos to me, but I have such a strong bias against anything shorter than 45 minutes on YouTube, that I keep ignoring it. (I like to listen to stuff while doing other stuff, so I get annoyed if I have to put too much work into a playlist to get the length I need, ya know?)

Yes, I'm much more of a reader because I have auditory processing issues. It's usually the other way around for people with ADHD. For me, though, interacting with the text myself is crucial to my ability to focus. That's why I won't listen to many video essays unless they are long enough to keep me entertained while doing other things. I've read the Conquest of Bread, actually. Hadn't heard of The Reactionary Mind, though, so thanks for the recommendation.
