    They have to rehash the old shit because they stand in opposition to people trying to do anything new. Gay/trans rights for example. They’ve been regurgitating the same tired rhetoric since the 60s (and probably earlier than that in some form). Conservatives have to fall back on old strategies because doing anything different would be progress
