in the trump administration, “merit” is pronounced “white” like how strom thrumond said it.

What is considered “conservative” these days is pretty elastic, which is exactly the opposite of how conservatism has always been defined. Conservatism in the Trump era is not based on a set of principles, ideas or policies. It is a dead movement replaced by right-wing populism.

That's how much Big Oil has spent over the last 30 years paying off Congress to look the other way on climate action while the planet burns.
