That, and that real conservatism CAN include something other than open-borders/free tradism.

I spoke with a Libertarian-leaning friend in TX who has a big business that does a lot of stuff overseas and I asked him if he was a “free trader or a fair trader.” He gave me a long reply but it came down to the fact that we don’t have free trade, that we are hugely regulated as are our competitors. So when he sells in Europe, he is at a huge disadvantage from their tariffs. He said under those circumstances, he was a “fair trader.”
