The only thing conservative I’ve seen out of this administration is lack of abortion, and removing LGBT rights, everything else is authoritarian which is not conservative.
Conservatives tend to make room for the libertarian right, that room is now gone.
Libertarianism had a left to right bent. I know the popular meme is libertarians are just conservatives that want to smoke weed but there really is a libertarian right.
The libertarian party was literally created by billionaires to advocate for their preferred tax policy without leding people who wanted legal weed or gay marriage. It’s a nonsense ideology
The right has always preferred the rule of the few over the many, ever since the days of colonial America and the Loyalists. First, the rule of the King of England. Then, opposing slaves’ rights. Then, opposing women’s suffrage. It has pretty much always been their opinion that the powerless are powerless because they deserve it.
Magats are just pro fascism, period. They WANT fascism because in their heads, a fascist government would support THEM and allow them to mistreat and attack those they dont like.
Now that they’re finding out that a fascist government will just mistreat and attack everyone including them, they got buyers remorse
But make no mistake; given the chance, they would fuck everyone over. Magats are just narcissists with psychopathic tendencies.
Because they stuck to the “conservative” party. It’s grossly ignorantly conservative, but that’s a bit redundant to say on top of the US sort of “conservative”…
It turns out the actual values they were protecting the whole time was impunity for the privileged. It was never about anything else and now that we know that we should stop pretended otherwise. There’s nothing good about social conservative values and we don’t have to respect those values are the people who are advocating for them.
MAGA was, and is, socially conservative to the point that they are willing to back a fascist to get their pet issues pushed through.

There never was and never will be a “libertarian right”. Conservatism is for conserving a strict top-down hierarchy and always has been.

I’ve been told I’m a secret Republican double agent for decades.
Still independent, still vote for Ds more often than not in national elections. UNFATHOMABLE
My gun rights opinions tend to turn off the progressives in my circle, yet I tend to be more left than most of them.
One of my friends once told me that when you go far enough left, you get your guns back.
Sure there is. Libertarian-Right = Extreme Selfishness.
That’s why their top issues are shit like “you can’t make me…”

Not even that

Same goes for the far left unfortunately. Just look at them praising Putin in Russia, Xi in China and Kim in North Korea.
Extremism is bad no matter the shape
MAGA voted a notorious alduterer in office how is that socially conservative?
