It's incredible how little interest these ghouls have in the concept of "public good." Things like the conserving the environment or public health or even something as simple as free tax filing, are just seen as aisles for scoring ideological points or maximizing the interests of profit seeking entities.

- davidw 1y agoThey seem pretty ok with starving actual people too.
- estearum 1y agoNo it's not. Why are they bragging about tariff income then? There is no coherent ideology guiding the American right wing except centralizing power onto the monarch.
- actionfromafar 1y agoIt contains multitudes. The "tear down government" are the Curtis Yarvin - like faction who believes "the State" (including federal government) must be destroyed and replaced by private entities. They use Trump as a tool to reach their goal. Then you have the true Trump believers. Then there are the turncoats (probably the majority). All of them seek power for the monarch.
- estearum 1y agoRight, so the only coherent ideology is their desire for dictatorship, as I said. This makes it extremely difficult if not impossible to interact with and collaborate with "the right" in a democratic system. The unifying feature is they do not care for the established mechanisms by which we decide what to do, ergo there is no way for us to decide together what to do.
