    There were some fake ICE already (yes, even more fake) abducting people. What if they abducted a billiionaire for a change?

      Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.

        Isn’t conservatism about keeping things the same? What you said sounds more like normal human groupism/corruption

          Keep things the same like queer people in the closet, women in the kitchen, and people of color in poverty. Not like 1950s top marginal tax rates.

          These days what it boils down to is an nostalgia for suffering of a bygone era.

          It’s a pretense that is used when it is convenient.

          The “trick” is conservatives want to preserve a past that didn’t exist, they’ve been told fairytales

          bear in mind that the US political parties based swapped names within living memory, and anyone can say they’re anything and do anything. I can say I’m not racist and be racist, I can say I’m a bad person while being a Saint
