Conservatism was born in the Age of Enlightenment… and somehow ended up in a golden bathroom ranting about loyalty pledges. In this DB Docuseries we explore the ideas of Edmund Burke and show just how far the movement has fallen under Trump.

00:00 – Intro: Conservatism’s Death Spiral
Beelzebub welcomes us to hell (literally) and sets the stage: we’re tracing conservatism back to its founder to see how far it’s fallen.

00:30 – Chapter 1: Burke’s Reverence for Institutions
We meet Edmund Burke and explore how he believed institutions were sacred, fragile, and vital—unlike Trump, who treats them like bad Yelp employees.

03:14 – Chapter 2: Moral Character and Leadership
Burke thought leadership required virtue and restraint. Trump thought it required merch and a Twitter account. Guess who’s winning?

06:08 – Chapter 3: Conservatism as Stewardship, Not Spite
Burke was all about preserving the good. Trump preserves grievances, with bonus Patriot Coins. Stewardship has officially left the building.

08:29 – Chapter 4: Populism vs. Principle
Burke warned about mob rule. Trump rebranded it. We dive into the rise of algorithm-driven populism and what that means for so-called “conservatism.”

11:24 – Conclusion: From Burke to Burned
The torch of conservative thought wasn’t passed—it was dropped in gasoline. Burke’s legacy is smoldering, and Trump is selling tickets to the bonfire.
