There is nothing to investigate, Wikipedia is a private organization and if it has a bias it is none of the government's business.

The party of "small government?" "Don't tread on me?" What the hell happened, Republicans?

They only ever cared about white supremacy. All that other stuff was bullshit.

"Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect."

Conservatives only care about small government when they are the ones being oppressed by the federal government. Like when Congress passed laws banning slavery.

But they care about federal laws being forced onto states when they are the ones doing the oppressing. Like when they passed the Fugitive Slave Act.

They don't care about their hypocrisy and, if anything, makes them want to do it more.

You forgot the scare quotes around "oppressed."

They don’t care about their hypocrisy and, if anything, makes them want to do it more.

Hypocrisy is a feature because it serves as a demonstration of their power and impunity. The message is "of course we're being blatantly hypocritical; what are you gonna do about it, peasant?"

Sorry, but that's all permanent political -isms. To find -isms which are not centered around that proposition, you have to leave politics and look for various ephemeral ideas, which only become popular in response to disturbances.

Facism happened. Governement run by Captialists.

pretty much predicted by Jack London in The Iron Heel in 1908 but people have been saying it longer than that.

Yep. The United States was one of the bigest inspirations for Nazi Germany. It goes back to the countries founding unfortunately.

That’s only when it’s private companies they like.

That was always an obvious lie.
