Is this a fair definition of Republicans/Conservatives these days?
Conservatives/Republicans, at least circa 2008, are people who:

Benefit greatly from the creativity/ideas/accomplishments of liberals/progressives, while consistently bashing those ideas and trying to undo them.

For the most part, profess Christian ethics and values, while at the same time, have utter disdain for anyone less fortunate than they are, practice extreme greed, and are scared shitless of "terra".

Have no good ideas for anything except blowing things and people up, trashing the environment to fulfill their addiction to oil and their various excesses, and taking us back to the stone age.

Think that a good debate is arguing and screaming over someone so that they can't be heard or understood.

What have I missed???

2. Utterly terrified of any perceived inconvenience brought by change
to the point they won't even change an opinion that has been proven wrong many times and which causes them to be openly laughed at in public.
