Inside the Conservative Civil War - Brett Cooper - #1030

What are your thoughts on the conservative civil war that seems to be happening? Starting off strong, huh? Oh gosh. Um you know, I think that it is, obviously there are a lot of issues that people are debating, I think, that have caused this schism that we're seeing, but I think that there are a lot of people that are arguing and fighting a good faith.

I think that there are a lot of people online who think that these are just like bad actors on both sides. We're going after each other. I look at it as there are these groups of people, they're extremely passionate. They have an idea of, you know, the direction our country in this, you know, movement and party should go. And they're worried about, you know, one side taking too much power of the radicals taking control of, you know, of us getting too involved in foreign affairs, whatever it might be.

And so I look at it as something that is not that the Civil War is a positive, but that there are good people fighting it. Mm-hmm. Uh, so I think that makes it a little more nuanced. That's a very diplomatic way to start. Yeah, well done.
