That moment when you realize the Federalists do have a purpose and have been steadily advancing that purpose and that Fhtagn has been a part of that. And that said purpose, while not extreme Right RL Freedom Caucus stuff, is rather conservative and dare I say, "federalist".
Indeed, this is what I have been talking about when I said that most people make the mistake of thinking of ideologies as little more than a disjointed series of views. The conservatism that the Federalist Party advances is not just whatever happens to be in the Republican Party's platform, but rather the result of an ideology that sees respect of process and institutional stability as a fundamental prerequisite to the development of a just and peaceful society.
For people who define "conservative" as a set of boxes that must be checked and demand the like out of a conservative party, this vision will come as a surprise. However, it is this vision that I find far more compelling and articulate, and it is this vision that should form the basis of any conservative movement that hopes to long endure.
