What's funny is that British conservatives aren't anywhere near as conservative as Trump. Look where compromise and diplomacy as controlled opposition got them. [...]
Um, you do not seem to be aware that the UK Conservative Party were in power (not in opposition) for the last fourteen years, and have been in power most of the time for the last century or so. So whatever they were doing, it must have worked out pretty well for them.

Better to speak of what you know, perhaps?

I believe that Trump is more of an authoritarian and/or populist than he is a conservative.

You'd think that since there have been governments and leaders of people for so long that they would have worked out how to run a country by now.

It seems to be working for the current leadership. I doubt they care much that you are regretting your vote now. No system will ever fix the fact that people are mostly irresponsible and lazy. But you can take power by fooling them into believing there's an easy way out.
And when the Confederates saw Jackson standing fearless like a stonewall, the army of Northern Virginia took courage and drove the federal army off their land.
