What is happening in this country that is making more conservatives?

[EndDomination]

Nah, Society AND Politics have been leaning way too left

Keynesian Economics (The Political heartbeat of the Liberal Left) is at an all time high. The Government continues to spend, spend, and overspend thinking it would be a magic elixir to fix the economy. The Government's over-response and idiotic handling of Covid-19 is a perfect example

-They printed $4.5 trillion in new money the past 3 years. Further inflating the US Dollar.
-On top of that the Government shutting down destroying the Supply Chain which makes consumer goods prices rise, rent prices rise, etc etc


Blog: The Great Shutdown: How COVID-19 disrupts supply chains

But no one will say anything because "The Government is always right". As they continue to destroy Society and the Economy

You don't seem to have a basic grasp of economics.

Reagan and Bush were Keynesian in a variety of ways policy-wise, and government spending is not the reason behind the current inflation issue, which has already started to abate.

In reality - targeted infrastructure spending, which conservatives slashed from the IRA would have done a great amount of good. As they would have under Trump if he wasn't an orthodox moron of the GOP.

The majority of Americans support abortion access.

They don't generally, it significantly varies. Only a minority support it with no exceptions. The rest support it less the longer a women has been pregnant.

The majority of American support gay marriage.

Gay shyt isn't only gay marriage. I don't know who you nikkas think you're fooling by rearranging my post.

The majority of Americans support anti-discrimination bills for transgender people.

The average American doesn't even pay attention to those laws, primarily liberals do. So you can't even reach to claim they support trannyism. Please you're not getting anywhere by rearranging my list or responding to a statement I didn't type.

No one supports high crime, but the majority of Americans support police reform, greater spending for social services, and reductions in police violence.

Your Democrat leaders don't even believe in that stop the police shyt and the average American is spooked by the increase in crime that they now blame liberals for.

The last one doesn't even make sense.

It does, and failing to understand this is why the pendulum swings in the opposite direction.

You tried your best. A for effort

Milton Freidman, Arthur Laffer, and Fredrick Von Hayek, were the economic advisors of Reagan and Margaret Thatcher in the UK
They were there to give an influx of Supply Side Economics which focused on lowering taxes, reduce government spending, decentralize Financial intuitions, and give incentives to businesses to produce. And did have military spending to end Communism as they thought it was a threat for foreign trade and supply side economics

 

[Professor Emeritus]

Highlight some of the changes these people are against.

I don't think people are against them, I think people in power create false narratives that keep anything from being done.



Reducing police violence

Reducing mass incarceration

Judicial equality (getting money out of the justice system)

Returning to fair taxation levels for the rich

Regulating corporations appropriately for racism, worker rights, and environmental violations

Getting profit motive out of health care

Bringing in educational equality (both K-12 and access to higher education)

Getting a lot of partisan bullshyt out of politics (bills to end gerrymandering, reduce party power in elections, etc.)



Most of these things are stuff that most Americans really support if they sit down and talk to someone about it. But when actual legislation or votes come up in public, there's all sorts of ridiculous fearmongering by corporate interests who don't want things to change. And more often than not corporate media is complicit - you see this in crime reporting all the time, or the narratives that are built around "socialism'.

 

[Rekkapryde]

Like poor rural rednecks opposing Obamacare?

But supporting the Affordable Care Act

The amount of dumbasses not knowing the ACA was the dreaded Obamacare was pathetic

 

[cartierhoe]

Its easier to blame other people than it is to look in the mirror

Opinion | Reagan Was a Keynesian (Published 2012)

Since Republicans love to contrast President Obama’s record with that of Ronald Reagan, let’s look at government spending in each man’s administration.

Just because Reagan had those clowns in his cabinet doesn't mean he practiced pure "heterodox" economics. You would know that if you spent time to examine the mixed bag of policies promoted by Reagan.

So Clinton and JFK were Conservatives, but Reagan wasn't? Which is which?

You've been tripping over yourself badly you ended up contradicting yourself . You might make your brain hurt slow down breh

When did I say Reagan wasn't conservative? Is your reading comprehension off? Keynesianism isn't a "liberal" or "conservative" - it's a multi-faceted macroeconomic theory

 

[Osmosis]

Society is leaning WAY too left. And people acting "shocked" about this is straight up laughable


Democratic presidents Pre 2000 (Clinton, Jimmy Carter, JFK) would all be considered Conservative in modern day

Because the Biden and Harris administration is a beacon of progressivism

And if you really sit down and consider what you just listed, money really isn't necessary to make those things happen. Fact is, in order to practice classism, you must have a class to do so. Who's going to be the participants in the underclass? This ultimately what's being fought against, and you have brothers and sisters trying to participate in classism.

Yup. Need for charity/funding is not the #1 issue causing most of the world's problems. The #1 issue is rich and powerful people not wishing to give up their position on top.

And because lazy/ignorant people gravitate towards power and are easily manipulated, there are a LOT of bootlickers willing to help the powerful in their goals.

Being that im in a blue city, i cannot have a opinion based off facts. But from what I've seen with my own eyes, you do have some brothers and sisters who do the same here. And it usually ends up biting them in the a$$ down the road because black people in Chicago lost a lot getting on board with the progressive agenda.

Who that dude posting think he is? Saying the "majority of americans" support this that and the other? Ive received no such questionnaire and I live in the 3rd largest city in the country.

How you can say they have no power when one of them was the President of the United States? Matt Gaetz? Marjorie Taylor Greene? Lauren Bobert? Mitch McConnell? Steve King? Devin Nunes?
These people have/had no power? They are (or were for the latter 2) in congress! Greg Abbott and Ron DeSantis have no power? Stephen Miller and Steve Bannon had no power when they were Advisors to the President? What arguement do you have other than being scared of the tyranny boogeyman (or woman)?

The fact you don’t think the tranny thing is a big deal is telling me that you live in a liberal bubble.
