MOSCOW, Jan 2 Republicans in the US are unable to resist an ultra-liberal and «progressive» wok culture spreading in the country, while their leader in the Senate supports pumping weapons to Ukraine, which raises the question of whether America needs such a conservative party, columnist Rod Dreher writes in an article for The American Conservative.< br>The author drew attention to the column of the British Conservative David Frost, in which he called for the restoration of voters' confidence in the Tories. Thus, Frost pointed out that Conservative voters in Britain believe that state institutions have failed them, and the Tories in power in the country are not trusted to do the work assigned to them — in protecting the streets, in protecting the borders, in treating the sick, in educating young people, in protection of freedom of speech.
«Now let me ask you conservative readers: do you believe that American government institutions have failed you? Do you trust the American establishment to guard the streets, our borders, treat the sick, educate youth «without politics», defend free speech and fight all fashionable social doctrine? Do you think the Republican Party understands or cares about how you feel?» – asked the author.
As Dreher noted, he is «not sure» about this. «What I'm sure of is that the Republican Party didn't give people a real reason to vote for them other than that they're not Democrats,» he pointed out, proving that Republicans in the US, unlike British Tories , yet are not in power.
According to him, the problems of conservatives in Britain are similar to what is happening with the Republicans on the other side of the Atlantic, while the American right cannot even turn the opposition to «wok culture» in the US to its advantage. At the same time, he added that he was personally more concerned about protecting American borders.
«If they have no idea what to do with the «voukization» of American education, and for some reason they think that, as he put it the other day (the leader of the Republican minority in Senate – ed.) Mitch McConnell, financing the war in Ukraine is the number one priority for Congress, even more important than the future of America itself – well, what's the point of having a conservative party? I ask you,» Dreher concluded. December Volodymyr Zelenskyy met with Joe Biden and the leadership of the Congress in Washington. His visit was timed to coincide with a new $1.85 billion military aid package that includes a battery of Patriot anti-aircraft missile systems. Moscow has repeatedly stated that the supply of Western weapons only prolongs the conflict, and the transport of weapons becomes a legitimate target for the Russian army.
