I think that’s all part of the same thing. This idea that conservatism is a flawless ideology and liberalism is always wrong but I’ll tell you what gets me riled up is the lies on economics. We never were a purely capitalist society. The red-baiting is just race baiting because they know their base doesn’t want other people to get the same benefits they do.

Oh, I get that, it’s just that the idea of conservatism’s flawlessness seems to just be accepted writ large across the whole discourse, not just taken as gospel on the right. It seems like a fully baked in assumption even among the lefty side of the discourse until all too recently.
