yes yes, of course. mea culpa.
i thought that i was clear about what i was referring to.
because i referred to them as lumpenconservative---a derivative of lumpenproletariat from marx--it denotes what marx called the "sack of potatoes", those who follow whichever way the ideological wind blows, the followers, the footsoldiers...those who adhere to views without any particular evidence of reflexivity.........obviously not every conservative is like these gentlemen.
but then again, not every conservative would have reacted as they have.
