Thread: Conservative Policy and the Trump Presidency
On the last full day of the Trump administration, I think it's useful to examine why he accomplished so little legislatively. TLDR version: American conservatism has almost no policy program.
The GOP is dominated by a minority of far-right activists and wealthy donors who have views that their own voters don't support.
This is not, however, how things used to be in the GOP.
Next, with Trump's encouragement, it began trying to consume the brains of marginally attached Republicans and other low-info citizens.
This is why it's so extremely critical that media, businesses, and educators publicly reject these toxic lies.
Republican politicians condemning the #TrumpCoupAttempt who are also not calling for his immediate removal and irrevocable prohibition from holding any federal office are nothing more than rats leaving a sinking ship.

The GOP will have no political future unless it does this.
To them, a dolt who ruins things is their fantasy because he makes it easier for the public to hate government like they do. https://t.co/hhVg8KjExc

Thread: Meaning and loss in American conservatism

I've written a lot about how Christian supremacism (expressed and implicit) is the underlying objective of most Trump supporters but the psychology of American conservatism is very important in its descent into madness.
