You’re not wrong about “conservatism” undergoing a rapid metamorphosis in the past decade, but it was only possible in the first place because republicans put party before principle, and they’ve been doing that for a long time.

In the Bush era, how many times did the “party of small government” tell you it needed to restrict abortion, regulate marriage rights, wage a war on drugs, and expand the surveillance state? There was no rhyme or reason to any of it other than culture wars and security theater, and it certainly wasn’t part of some coherent conservative ideology.

I mostly agree with ski11erboi’s response. I’m actually not overly concerned with market performance - I would be surprised if Trump’s handlers allowed him to do anything so destructive to their interests. But if you think the prices of gas and eggs are bad now, just wait until we have a mass deportation and tariffs on imported goods.

If there’s anything to be concerned about as you approach retirement, I’d put social security at the top of the list.

Yeah no kidding. I have ample means to weather the economic shitstorm that his voters just ushered in, and I look forward to seeing every pro-Trump bum in my life wallow in it. That probably makes me a bad person, and it certainly revokes any “working class solidarity” credibility I ever had, but these people will never learn to help themselves and I don’t care anymore.

Blow it out your ass

The only thing baffling about any of this is that somehow, millions of ordinary, working/middle-class Americans believe that this system benefits them more than the alternative.
