What are We Conserving? What are we Debating?

Started off with some thoughts on Ted Cruz's tweet https://twitter.com/tedcruz/status/1663200925018726407?s=20 about Uganda and Charlie Kirk's comments https://twitter.com/TerriGreenUSA/status/1663350223337402369?s=20 about conservatism. What are we supposed to be conserving if such basic, foundational truths as family and marriage are negotiable? Then we looked at an article Catholic Answers published https://www.catholic.com/magazine/print-edition/the-white-question last year in response to the "White Question" and then finished up talking about debates (as a long thread had developed in Twitter on the topic).
