    Do you think it's socially accepted and welcomed for people to identify themselves as a conservative today?

    People identify themselves how they view themselves. Conservatism get a bad rep because, well, most of the people aligned with being 'conservatives' are crazy ass zealots or nut jobs. If not most, then the prominent conservatives are.

    ....but yeah, I do tend to raise an eyebrow when I hear someone describe themselves as "conservative."
