Thank god someone forced that traditional party to evolve and transform into a party that focuses on tangible change rather than empty politicians words. Action is what matters most. Next up…. Democrats. We are watching it in real time. Amazing time to be alive and watching history in the making
In fairness the Republican Party was already well set up for this kind of conflict. Basically its entire post war history is a battle between capital B business interests and small holders.
If that was true, why such little action propelling the citizens of this country to a better future whilst ton of action trying to shut down trump at every turn? Can’t have it both ways.
If trumps focus was helping the rich small percentage of this country take complete advantage and that was also the narrative of the traditional party… why’d they fight him so hard at every turn and eventually lose the battle?
It’s a delicate balance for them. Their broader electorate are just rubes who are one the leash for cultural reasons but have no material interest in the policies of the Republican Party. The Fox News watchers if you will. The Trump break was representative of the rubes seizing the reins. Not dissimilar from when the small holders/birchers/evangelical coalition finally seized power from the big business republicans with Reagan, just less of a fight because they still had plenty of interests in common.
Why so little action? Because conservatism is about maintaining control and class position, its purpose is to classify the strata as it exists or existed. Its very nature is anti progress.
I agree mostly except the tail end. In nature fiscal conservatives do not want rapid progression but I wouldn’t go as far to say control and class position without roping both parties into that statement. The democrats have done very little movement fiscally in a positive direction for the American citizen but rapidly push sociological ideologies. Both parties for decades have slowly aided the top and stiffed the average citizen.
Happy to see some change even if it’s high risk. Americans voted for high risk high reward.
