QOTD -- Conservatism

"Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit:
 
"There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.
 
"There is nothing more or else to it, and there never has been, in any place or time." -- composer Frank Wilhoit, from March 22, 2018 (found via Digby's blog).  For proof of proposition, apply that to actions taken in every Republican regime ever, until reaching its perfect distillation in the Trump regime and its companion Republican Senate and Supreme Court.
