Yes there are principled conservatives but they are very few and far between. Most just hate βthe leftβ and demand to be to the right of wherever the left is.
Dems win when they push the Overton window left, as weβve seen on gay rights for the past generation.

No. Allowing tuition increases after a 10% cut and a 7-year+ freeze was ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY. Cuts to student aid is, on the other hand, objectively bad.

So DOD risked civilian airspace to obliterate some fucking balloons; when FAA found out and asked them to stop they refused; FAA did what it had to keep people safe; when the public rightly freaked out, DOD relented, lied, and blamed the FAA.

This is true, and even if we get rid of Trump, we still have to reckon with the fact that a substantial proportion of US economic and political elites were *eager* to jump on the fascism train. They will still be the same people when Trump is gone.
