The irony is the base only cares about culture. They either don’t believe economic or financial items can be improved for them (free markets did kinda screw the lower middle class, since we had no guardrails) or they are convinced hurting the right people will fix their woes (I bet on the latter). It’s all very misguided, given the GOP elites crowing about “the elite” etc.

Conservatives have significant judicial power. Liberals have significant cultural power. Current MAGA base can’t seem to understand that push and pull balance.

Well the Repubs have never cared about economic issues other than lowering taxes for the wealthy and cutting all regulations. Their base realized this and thus enabled Dump to gain their support.
