The Holocaust exits living memory and the conservative movement returns to authoritarianism and racism like a dog to it's vomit.
The right should remember that they are allowed in the marketplace of ideas on sufferance and there was a time the entire world banded against them.

I'm a middle aged bearded white guy in Alberta surrounded by conservatives who code me as one of their own and speak freely around me.
Canadian Conservatism is a bigoted, angry, entitled, arrogant and gleefully cruel movement full of people you would cross the street to avoid.
