Alright, time to (finally) participate in a Conservative of the Year discussion after nearly six years of being a member of this wiki. Stay tuned, I'm compiling my opinions now and I've got a lot of catching up to do.--[[User:Geopolitician|Geopolitician]] ([[User talk:Geopolitician|talk]]) 23:49, December 21, 2022 (EST)

:Here we go.
:*Samuel Alito- Yes. Writing the majority opinion overturning Roe v. Wade, would make him a candidate for Conservative of the Decade, much less Conservative of the Year.
:*Elon Musk- Ugh. He's such a contrarian. One moment he's a libertarian, another moment he's advocating that we be more like the CCP. And then take into account him backing DeSantis for 2024, while for some odd reason not voting at all in the midterms. I'm leaning toward a no.
:*Douglas MacGregor- Yes. He may or may not be a conservative outside of foreign policy, but his hardline stance against the Ukraine war is highly commendable.
:*Ashley Moody- No. Getting re-elected by a large margin is not noteworthy in and of itself.
:*Ron DeSantis- NO.
:*Donald Trump- Yes, but not because of his record in the midterms. That's peanuts compared to being persecuted by the Deep State for purely political reasons.
:*Marjorie Taylor Greene- A few days ago I would've been a yes, but her recent comments comparing opponents of Kevin McCarthy to NeverTrumpers was way out of line. For this reason I'm now a no.
:*Clarence Thomas- Yes, although he is clearly overshadowed by Alito on the Roe v. Wade overturn.
:*Neil Gorsuch- Yes, for proving me wrong. I feared he would capitulate and vote to keep Roe v. Wade.
:*Brett Kavanaugh- Yes, see above.
:*Amy Coney Barrett- Yes, see above.
:*Federalist Society- No. They have a history of recommending judges who turn out to be flakes. The fact that their picks for SCOTUS happened to vote the right way on overturning Roe v. Wade doesn't change that.
:*Rick Scott- No. He may have challenged McConnell, but he did it once it was too late to change the outcome of the midterms. He should've stood up to McConnell much earlier.
:*Dinesh D'Souza- Yes. The release of 2,000 Mules was a significant event for conservatism in 2022, even if you don't agree with everything it says.
:*Rand Paul- Yes. His hardline stance against both COVID tyranny and the Ukraine war make him a top candidate in my book. He's also my first choice for Trump's running mate in 2024.
:*Lee Zeldin- Yes. Not a fan of him, but his near-win in New York cannot be ignored.
:*Mark Robinson- No. His statements against gay marriage didn't get enough national attention make him competitive with some of the other choices on the list.
:*Canadian Freedom Convoy Protestors- Yes, for obvious reasons.
:*JD Vance- Yes. From best-selling author to subject of Academy Award-nominated movie to Senator, this guy is going places. Also, he's solid on most of the major issues.
:*Joe Lombardo- Yes. He was the only Republican to flip a governorship this year, and he did it in a state that hasn't voted GOP in a presidential election in nearly 20 years. That's significant.
:*Greg Abbott- Yes. I may not be the biggest fan of him, but his confrontation with Beto O'Rourke at that press conference on the Uvalde shooting cannot be ignored.
:*Viktor Orban- Yes. The Deep State and their allies in Poland and Ukraine tried to oust him this year over his stances on the Ukraine war, but he survived. That alone makes him a top contender in my book.
:*Kari Lake- Yes. She got played dirty by the GOP Establishment and quite possibly the Arizonan Department of State. She's one of my top choices for Trump's VP pick in 2024.
:*Harriet Hageman- Yes, because of how significant of a figure her opponent was.
:*Ron Johnson- No. His actions on January 6 show that he is nothing more than an opportunist, and that his recent "maverick" political moves likely were calculated and insincere.
:*Marco Rubio- No. He's highly overrated and I personally believe he should be in prison for helping Obama decieve the world into believing he was arming moderate rebels in Libya and Syria.
:*Mike Lawler- I don't know who he is, so I'll abstain.
:*Giorgia Meloni- No. She almost immediately sold out to the Russophobic warmongers once elected, which is a disqualifier in my book.
:*Kris Kobach- I don't know the details of his political comeback, so I'll abstain.
:*Glenn Youngkin, Right now I'm leaning toward a no. Not only is he possibly challenging Trump in 2024 but he is also now facing allegations of collaborating with corrupt law enforcement officials to persecute conservative critics of his policies.
:*Kyrsten Sinema- No. She's not going at the DNC hard like Tulsi Gabbard did when she left the party earlier this year. In fact, I would remove replace Sinema with Gabbard on this list.--[[User:Geopolitician|Geopolitician]] ([[User talk:Geopolitician|talk]]) 00:27, December 22, 2022 (EST)
