In response to another user making a comment on accessibility, I have transcribed the image into a post.
Treebeard:
The Ents cannot hold back this storm. We must weather such things as we have always done.
Merry Brandybuck:
How can that be your decision?!
Treebeard:
This is not our war.
Merry Brandybuck:
But you're part of this world! Aren't you? You must help! Please! You must do something.
Treebeard:
You are young and brave, Master Merry. But your part in this tale is over. Go back to your home.
Pippin Took:
Maybe Treebeard's right. We don't belong here, Merry. It's too big for us. What can we do in the end? We've got the Shire. Maybe we should go home.
Merry Brandybuck:
The fires of Isengard will spread. And the woods of Tuckborough and Buckland will burn. And all that was once green and good in this world will be gone. There won't be a Shire, Pippin.
The Ents are the prototypical conservative.
Unwilling to be involved in things until it directly and personally affects them.
Their wives also left them and they couldn't figure out why.
Lmao.

This suggests conservatives are secretly strong though. We know that's not the case.
We do? How do you know that? Probably more than half of the people serving in the military are conservative.
Being a soldier is a very different kind of strength than being a rebel.
