A problem I’ve noticed on the left for the past couple of years is that their unrelenting and infinite cynicism towards the Democratic Party center does not extend to the far right. Indeed, they seem to take their lies at face value. With that in mind, you’d be an all-mighty idiot for believing the stances of safety net expansion, hostility towards Big Tech dominance, and infrastructure projects from fascist pieces of shit like Hawley and Carlson. Their primary agendas are, respectively, a post-liberal evangelical Christian theocracy and a white nationalist ethnostate. The first thing that they’ll do is throw away all the nice-sounding things to their platform, as fascists have done since the birth of the ideology (the Nazis were anti-capitalist until they realized they could get the funding and support of wealthy industrialists).

Let’s not forget, 2016 campaign Trump talked about being the only Republican who wouldn’t cut Medicare and wanted the government to negotiate with pharmaceutical companies for drug prices. But he’s presided over budgets that do the former, and as for the latter, he had a White House meeting with pharma bosses within a couple of months of getting into office.

However, let’s suppose Hawley or Carlson do keep their word about all the progressive things they say they want to do. If that’s the case, you can count out the Democratic Party for at least a generation, much like the GOP after the New Deal. And it’ll be the bed they made that they’ll have to lie in. They set themselves up for this via aggressive means testing for valuable benefits, disguising such arguments in a thin veil of class warfare (“the rich shouldn’t have the benefits of everyone else,” they say). If someone else is gonna do what they should have been doing all along, then you deserve to become irrelevant.
