:I like the collective conservative members of the Supreme Court (minus Roberts and possibly whoever), Doug MacGregor for his courage against prevailing headwinds, and Rand Paul for a variety of reasons (Fauci, Ukraine, etc.).

::Elon Musk is a libertarian and not a conservative. There is a lot of pro-Trump and anti-Desantis sentiments at the wiki so DeSantis is out. Both Conservative SCOTUS judges minus Roberts or Rand Paul make sense.

:::Doug MacGregor appeared on Russia Today and he takes Russia's position in the Russia-Ukraine War. I will explain why I am against MacGregor being the conservative of the year. George Washington said "It is our true policy to steer clear of permanent alliance with any portion of the foreign world." I take the position that the USA should not take any position in the Russia-Ukraine War as both sides are corrupt/authoritarian and Putin is hated by some of our allies (For example, the UK has met their NATO obligations so I would consider the UK to be an ally and not merely a protectorate. Also, Poland will raise defence spending to the equivalent of 5% of GDP, ruling party chairman Jarosław Kaczyński has announced so they are an ally and not a protectorate.) I argue that the Europeans who have a population of 446.8 million should handle the Ukraine issue since it is in their backyard. In addition, Europe has been slackers for decades in terms of their defense. After the dust settles, given the threat of China that will exist for awhile (unfair trade practices, intellectual property theft, their increasing agression in the China Sea, exporting of authoritarian systems/technology to other countries and their threats against Taiwan), it makes sense for the USA to have friendlier relations with Russia after the Russia-Ukraine War settles. China poses a temporary threat as it has the worst aging population problem in the world and a ton of debt so their economy is headed for trouble.

::::Why would DeSantis be out? Just because some people prefer him over Trump? He has had an extraordinary year as Governor of Florida, pushing Conservative legislation, such as parental rights in schools, despite strong backlash from the Left and from the media. As for Musk, as stated above, this is not about who is the most Conservative, which he is clearly not, but about who has been the most successful or effective at pushing Conservatism and / or resisting Leftism. I agree that Justice Alito should probably be the Conservative of the Year, with DeSantis as the 1st Runner-Up and Musk as the 2nd Runner-Up. Also, I will be creating the RINO of the Year, 2022 page soon. Thanks!--[[User:TheNewRight|TheNewRight]] ([[User talk:TheNewRight|talk]]) 15:00, December 15, 2022 (EST)
