Conservative Inc.
Conservative Inc. is a pejorative term used to describe secretly funded spokesmen who try to claim leadership of the conservative movement while actually being liberal on key social issues of importance to the grassroots, such as illegal immigration and Donald Trump.[1] The financiers of Conservative Inc. are delusional in thinking they can monopolize the conservative movement without disclosing their agenda, which includes open borders and globalism. They have also failed to defend movement conservatism in the face of left-wing attacks.[2][3]
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. spokesmen are often motivated by money and push the agenda of the undisclosed funders, such as the former Koch brothers and other billionaires. Conservative Inc. tends to be well-placed on pseudo-conservative websites and has keynote appearances at conferences.
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.
