These people don’t understand conservatism.
It has nothing to do with money. It might have 50-100 years ago, but no longer. The Fed creates money from nothingness whimsically. A substance from nothingness cannot possibly define an philosophy.
These guys do not have to “back Trump”. They have to back Drain the Swamp and Build the Wall. Every word spent talking about the budget is meaningless at $36T of debt and over $1T in interest.
The horse has left the barn. Nothing can be done about it, and “conservatives” helped it happen.
The election is about draining the swamp. Eradicate elites. Frankly, that’s all that can be done. You could elect a 100% MAGA Congress, all of whom immediately become Swamp, and you would see nearly no change in the budget because it is too far gone.
All that can be done is drain the Swamp. End presidential daily media briefings. That’s a whole roomful of Swamp erased. The civil service rules preclude firing them, but you can move their assignment to cubicles and assign them to process timecards. No more positions of responsibility for pretty much anyone. After a few months of this, they will retire. Then don’t replace them.
