How do you figure that? Look around this forum, your neighborhood, your social media, etc. The "conservatives" of the US are, at this very moment, holding a days-long conference about conspiracy theories. Their keynote speaker is the most dangerous and overtly evil person who has wielded political power in the country -- maybe ever. Sanity has not been reconstituted. It's just been given back its chair in the federal government. As the country continues on its path of progression that has been set since the end of WWII 75 years ago, these people will feel increasingly marginalized. They will act out in ever more destructive ways because they have never, ever had to cooperate in a heterogeneous society. They refuse to share power. They've been calling themselves victims every since Starbucks said, "Happy holidays." Our darkest days are not yet behind us, I don't think.

Libertarianism appeals to young men in particular
In my experience it usually has to do with the myths of honorable kings
Children love the myths of honorable king
They imagine being princesses and knights
Kings and queens
Noble people who love their kingdom of people
Helping their minions and being loved by the people in their care
Childhood fantasy’s
Girls grow into women and don’t want to be ruled
Boys grow into men and some still pine for being a noble kings and savior knights
Libertarianism isn’t even the best system on paper
morality is a set of beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors that facilitate voluntary, cooperative and mutually beneficial relationships.

just a few real lies from your messiahs.
Democracy is not a death pact
That is what the founders were planning to thwart with their beautiful hybrid government
At present the US is being governed by extreme, radical neo-Marxists/Postmodernists. The call themselves the "progressive" faction of the Democrat Party. For simplicities sake lets just call the racial modern day socialists. There has never, ever, since Karl Marx wrote the "Communist Manifesto" in 1848, been a successful (Marxist) socialist society. Not only did the various attempts to establish one fail, they failed DISASTEROUSLY because the philosophy of socialism is fatally flawed. It CONTRADICTS human nature. It is also economically flawed and simply does not work. I hope that the hard left of the Democrat party stays in control of Biden's administration, because if they do, they will destroy it completely in next to no time at all. They have made a really good start already by forcing Biden to sign EOs allowing Critical Theory back into federal agencies and public schools, by throwing away America's energy independence, by advancing the development of bat-shit crazy racial, economic and social EQUITY policies, by pandering to BLM Inc's BREATHE Act and the stupidity goes on and on. I mean, this is "Cloud Cuckoo Land", lunatic asylum stuff , brother. It's all going to go "BANG" big time; and I just can't wait, because it's going to be LOL hilarious !

Evince, if you are as smart as you think you are then you know that idealism is good but it must be tempered by reason. Young people are idealistic. With education and experience, they learn to what is rational and what is not.
No doubt you've been around long enough to know younger people who are idealistic. No problem for the young. In fact, it's often a good thing to "shoot for the stars".
Likewise you've known who are in their 30s who are as idealistic as teenagers. Can you honestly say that's a good thing for them? Sure, it depends upon what they are seeking. It's one thing to say "I'd like to complete my masters or doctorates". It's another for a 30something who doesn't even know how to fly or have a background in science to say "I want to be on the first Mars mission".
Just like there's such a thing as "too idealistic", the same can be said for being "too conservative". The latter applies when it's used to subjugate people, to stop people from doing something which in nobody else's business. It applies when it seeks to rob or harm the innocent out of greed.
Both the idealistic young and the conservative elderly serve a purpose in human society. It's good to understand why they necessary in human society, when one is too little or the other is too much.

WOW! I knew it wouldn't take long for a Trumptard to show his ass in this thread!
But dude, I gotta hand it to you, you reared your ugly head like a TYPICAL TRUMP SUPPORTING HATERIOT!
You know "HATERIOT"- short for HATERS that RIOT when they can't win an election- so they just take it by loading up and storming the capitol building and declaring Donald Trump the winner by force?
