Saiwania is, and I can't believe I'm saying this, actually right though. When you really get down to it, especially in politics, opposing views often can't coexist and requires the destruction whether literal or figurative of the opposition to truly pursue their ideas. Conservatism and progressivism cannot coexist together, one of them has to be destroyed for the other to flourish etc etc.
Tbh, the only way to accept he's right is to accept that conservatism in general has been the against American and Western values of liberty and freedom since the beginning. Conservatives were generally the royalists during the Revolution, the slavers and anti-abolitionists during the civil war and against the civil rights movement during the 1950s and 60s. Conservatism as an ideology is against the ideals of freedom since conservatism is rigidly against any kind of change.
That was but one example, it works for lots of others. Libertarians and authoritarians can't coexist. Communists and capitalists can't. Fascists and opponents of the state can't. National socialists and people not of their race can't etc etc.
