Conservative arguments are always so bad because they rarely comport with reality. The only thing that is keeping Conservatism as a political ideology alive is the fact that the people who promote it, started off with immense wealth and power. Conservatives made a concerted effort in the 70's to buy up media. Since their ideas are not based in reality, they have to control the institutions which provide the narratives so that they could make up their own "reality". There are enough ignorant, scared, and bigoted people out there who latch on to their narrative to keep them afloat despite having fewer numbers.
