    This is a function of the establishment right wing having usurped traditional conservativism (and their broad values), and replaced it with the nihilistic morality-free Capitalist libertarianism of the millionaires and billionaires funding “conservative” think tanks.

    So there’s no genuine right wing anymore. There’s a conservative shell with anti-state, pro-Capitalist Libertarianism in the middle. All just so taxes and regulations could be lowered on the wealthy and their corporations.

    It’s a subversive attack on the nations of the world, and now governments have self-weakened and invited in their own doom and corruption rather than taking a principled stance by fighting it.

    It’s truly an ongoing attack on the nation.
