Why aren’t conservatives angry with large corporations instead of government?

🧠 conservatives

This one always puzzled me. Whenever I hear their complaints, how the world changed for the worse, they never blame the right entities, they hyper fixate on bullshit.

-“Killing mains street”: Large box retailers did that.

-Shipping jobs overseas: Business decided to do that.

-Cost of living: Inflationary forces from business maximizing profit, minimizing expenditures.

-“Erosion of the traditional family”: The above made it so one breadwinner couldn’t sustain a family.

-“The Swamp”: Conservatives spearhead efforts to let more private money flow into politics. Citizens United is a conservative movement, and Ted Cruz just won allowing even more private money into the process.

-“Cultural decay”: Our culture is driven by for-profit entities that want to get us hooked. We’re angry and divided because rating based algorithms say that’s how we are exposed to more advertising.

-“kids can’t be kids anymore/ back in my day” We all want a clean streets with nature all around to play in safely, but we bulldozed all that to accommodate businesses.

-Mental Health: Conservatives defunded MH facilities and still push for no money to go that way!

And the solution to all of these is to… cut social services, give tax cuts left and right, and let more money in politics?

Trump told Mehmet Oz to “declare victory” — even though he hasn’t won — in order to prevent McCormick from “cheating” with “mail-in ballots.” Truth Social is now in violation of Conspiracy to Defraud the United States. (18 U.S.C. § 371). Why hasn’t the FBI shut down Truth Social?

Gas is up to $6 per gallon in some areas.

Oil industry profits are up 300% since this time last year, with the top 5 companies reporting $35 Billion in Q1 profits this year.

This isn’t inflation. This is price gouging.

Pass the Big Oil Windfall Profits Tax.

It’s time to admit that the Democratic majority in the Senate was always imaginary
