I'm about fucking tired of this fucking tired-assed argument.

Anyone that still thinks they can lay absolute claim to how general (somewhat fluid) concepts are defined from one generation to the next is probably taking their understanding from an authoritative dogma that is only empowered by the willful submission of it by those that wish to be led towards what to think by those they consider their superiors. But that's not even the problem with everyone chiming in with their opinion on the matter, and possibly an ignorant (hopefully not willful) obfuscation of the issue at hand; getting our country back.
If conservatism (specifically your view of it) is the hill you're willing to figuratively die on in order to call out shenanigans when shenanigans ensue, then you, yourself, are a part of the ongoing series of shenanigans attempting to keep people divided along the lines of concepts that can, and will continue to evolve as subsequent generations and divergent cultures choose to allow them to be redifined. You'll constantly be moving along with the goal post that is the argument of which you fight to define how you see fit, while the ultimate goal, the Republic, is lost to the people that use their collective energies and focus to achieve their envisioned end state of the union thereof.
In other words, please stop having arguments over how to define concepts that are (in YOUR opinion) based on doctrine or dogma that you've trained yourself to accept because you imbue that ideology as authoritative (read: subjective) and grounded in what you think to be objective (ordained by God). Why don't you folks, instead, turn your eyes to the prize, the Union, and be more honest, publicly, about what these debates are really about. Admit to yourself and others, publicly, that it's a contest of perspective and opinion over concepts you all wish to frame in your view, rather than having any proof of absolute fact.
