Conservative Inc.

Conservative Inc. (also abbreviated as "Con Inc.") is a pejorative term used to describe the coalition of mainstream conservatives, RINOs/neoconservatives, token conservatives, Establishment Republicans, organizations, PACs, etc., who try to claim leadership of the conservative movement. Members of Conservative Inc. market themselves as authentically conservative to the public (usually during election years), yet are hold widely liberal positions and agendas, and hinder the agenda of true conservatism. The billionaire, mega-donor financiers of Conservative Inc. (which include the Koch Brothers and George Soros) monopolize the movement without disclosing their agenda, which includes open borders and globalism. They also consistently fail to defend movement conservatives in the face of left-wing attacks. Conservative Inc. has dominated much of the elected Republican Party for many years, and continues to do so today in politicians such as Greg Abbott, Mitt Romney, Mike Pence, Tim Scott, Nikki Haley, Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, Mitch McConnell, and many, many more.

Conservative Inc. misleads Republicans into spending campaign dollars on expensive consultants and television ads, when the money would be better spend on a ground game. When there are very few undecided voters, as in the United States presidential election, 2020, the ground game and not consultants matter more.

Part of the game plan of Conservative Inc. is to try to marginalize and demonize critics, in an improper attempt to monopolize the right side of the political spectrum. An example of this a half-century ago was when William F. Buckley participated in the smear of the John Birch Society in reaction to the success by the group in pulling conservative supporters away from Buckley.

The Fox News Channel – a money-making scheme by faux conservatives who pander to elderly Republicans while profiting from them – is a prime example of Conservative Inc.

Conservative Inc. is dominated by people who think that conservative politics is a way to make money, rather than a place to volunteer for the betterment of others. The Conservative Inc. "leaders" are often very hostile to grassroots activists, particularly if they might upset the flow of money to those profiting from it.

Conservative Inc. spokesmen tend to be pro-Koch agenda and anti-Trump.

During the three presidential campaigns of Pat Buchanan, Conservative Inc. smeared him and put him down, while propping up their own candidates, such as George H. W. Bush, Bob Dole and George W. Bush.
