This poo poo is just more of that.

The reason the libs just want to fact check with numbers is libs think the system is fine. Libs worship the system. They don't care about outcomes as long as the process is followed. Remember Hillary's "America is already great?" The liberal thinks that sure there are problems with the system but those can be solved with some tinkering around the edges by The Right People who are Well Qualified and Qent To The Right Schools and Have A Good Resume (i.e. them). They do not have core principles as we understand them. For example, I think it's monstrous that people die for lack of health care in one of the richest and most powerful countries in the history of the world. If you asked me how many people should die because of lack of health care, it's 0. Liberals would say this is bizarre and simplistic and just not the way the world works and if you really pressed them and got them to quit circling around you tossing smarm they'd admit they are actually fine with some people dying for lack of health care as long as it was *those* people, the unworthy. Think of the way liberals treat the south. By their expressed values, they are protectors of the poor and black. But listen to them talk and most of them would happily cede the southern states (which are the poorest and blackest states!) Into Jesusland so they didn't have to deal with the lumpenproles who don't vote for them because the Republicans have the audacity to actually Do Things. And they really do get mad because Republicans do things. But not because of the outcomes! But because it is just a policy enacted, not something created by a Blue Ribbon Comission of the Best and Brightest Who Went to the Right Schools And Made Tough Choices To Determine Technocratically Perfect Outcomes. This is why Trump threw them into a rage. Because he would just say "I wanna send everybody checks! With my name on them!" And made it happen, which not only wasn't respecting the system, it also revealed the lie that its just plain too hard to get anything done besides tinker around the edges. The irony is it's liberals who are the biggest defenders of the status quo and conservatives are the ones who want to tear it down. America, what a country.

Conservatives don't want to tear anything down, they just want to change the people in charge. That's basically what right-wing populism is: the idea that the system itself is fine, it is the people in charge who are the problem. Anyway, time to impeach Trump a 3rd time.

Cpt_Obvious posted:Conservatives don't want to tear anything down, they just want to change the people in charge. That's basically what right-wing populism is: the idea that the system itself is fine, it is the people in charge who are the problem. That's not exactly true. Conservatives don't want to tear things down in the sense that we, the left, do. They do believe in a vision of America as it exists and a path by which that vision can become reality. But they don't believe that it's just the people in charge which are the problem. I mean they do believe that but not *just* that; they believe that "mistakes" have been made which need to be undone. The key difference between a lib ("America is already great") and a conservative is that conservatives see a political means to accomplish their goals and libs lack political goals of any kind. Conservatives are building something, libs merely wish to use the existing political machinery for graft. Both will tell you they're fans of America, but make no mistake that conservatives very much want to change it. I'm not going to quote Dr. Kyle Farnsworth but all of that is correct. I understand the quibble with the idea of conservatives wanting to "tear it down" but I feel like that was more a poor word choice because should the conservative project be completed, as seems more likely every day, America would indeed be completely changed (although I would also argue it could not be described as torn down, simply more naked in what it has always been).

Corey Robin's description of conservatism as a "mode of counterrevolutionary practice" to protect the status quo works well in the modern western context. Conservatives build political groups intended to oppose real or perceived threats to the existing distribution of wealth and power. This means modern western conservatives don't want to challenge capitalism or white supremacy at all, but instead are uniting against reformers or out groups that in their view are endangering or weakening society. Meanwhile Liberals are equally committed to the essential elements of modern society's power structure, but try to defend it on it's own merits and claim that alternatives are impossible. This isn't working well right now, with a growing fraction of the public impoverished. In this view modern America has two political parties thoroughly committed to preserving the essential status quo. One builds support via popular anger against those they claim are ruining everything. The other offers a milquetoast defense that this is the best that can be done and they're better than the other party. It's not hard to see which is going to be more successful as material conditions continue to decline, which is why the Democrats are going to get destroyed.
