    Does it though? I mean that would be better than fascism, no doubt, but what are we trying to conserve, really?

        By private sphere do you mean people’s private lives and activities or corporate political organizations? If the former, then I agree, if the latter then those are in dire need of disruption.

        Conservatives haven’t had fiscal responsibility in probably near 50 years. People should absolutely stop equating conservatives to fiscal responsibility. It’s a lie conservatives keep telling each other.

        Ideally fiscal responsibility and a resistance to government intrusion in the private sphere.

        Which is what libertarians and a LOT of republicans want. But for some reason, Lemmy seems to hate libertarians even more than republicans. lol
