And when they vote for the pied piper socialist and that socialist doesn’t have the answers then what? Are conservatives suppose to be like the left now and cater to their victim mentality?
Nope.
But Conservatives need to acknowledge that the world has changed. Obama did fundamentally transform America (ex. Obamacare made healthcare far less affordable). The debt is real ($38T is a lot of money). The devaluation of the dollar (decades of inflation) is real. The affordability crisis is real (normal salaries are no longer sufficient to buy a house in many parts of the country).
Conservatives need to say that these are real problems.
Conservatives need to say that Progressive policies (ex. Obamacare) made things worse and not better.
Conservatives need to say that less government in their lives and in the economy will make things better.
What I mostly see is Conservatives saying "Suck it up. Things were tough in 1980 too! But I'm awesome and I was successful! If you're not successful today, you're a lazy loser!!"
(This is not an effective campaign slogan.)
