    Maybe that’s what corpos want, but I think the average american Republican is just so braindead hyper-individualistic that they don’t quite grasp the consequences of their own philosophy. Seems like it’s just “take care of yourself, I don’t want to have to hear about you”, full stop with 0 consideration for what that actually means.

      I suppose I could have clarified by differentiating between “Republican leaders” and “Republican followers” - the latter group being largely irrelevant to discussion because they’ll believe and regurgitate whatever the first group tells them to. So by “they” in this case, I mean billionaires, politicians, and “influencers” of those philosophies
