As a moderate conservative, I believe in ownership and democracy. Therefore the people who work at a company should own it and have an equal vote in how it is run.

We may not agree on everything, but I support you. Let us seize the means of production together first. Afterward, we can sort out the details of our views on moderate conservatism.

As a moderate conservative, I believe in conserving natural, finite resources like oil and gas. I believe in making large investments into clean and renewable energy for all, so we can conserve the natural beauty of our land, just like God intended.

This one went past satire and is actually a good talking point

Wait... You don't think the others are real good points?

What kind of terrible RINO are you?

So I know a guy who has this as a core belief. He voted Republican until 2016 and bitched every day and pretty frequently wrote our Congress critters about how part of conservatism is being a good steward of the environment. He refused to vote for Trump. I'm not sure who he did vote for (my guess is no one) but he said he wouldn't support that fucking moron who wants to allow toxic waste in our rivers.

He loves clean energy and is big on environmentalism (God gave us the earth to take care of and the science to do so). He's also in a borderline cult church. I'm surprised there aren't more church people who think they should take care of Earth. At least then we'd agree on one thing.
