    This is not a conservative platform.

      I’m not looking to get radicalized, nor am I looking for an echo chamber

        I understand what you mean, but that’s beside the point really.

        Your list above is not actually consistent with conservative politics in the US.

        For instance, you said:

        The right to vote is fundamental to a democracy

        The Republican party says:

        Our platform is centered on […] ensuring the integrity of our elections reference

        In practice, “ensuring the integrity of our elections” means voter suppression, which is diametrically opposed to the idea that the right to vote is fundamental.

        For another example, you said:

        Religion must stay out of government

        The Republican party keeps doing things like this:

        Texas education leaders unveil Bible-infused elementary school curriculum

        So again, my point is that your ideals are not actually aligned with conservatism in the US.
