Yeah it goes hand and hand with the Evangelical idea of, if I'm good i will be rich and the transitive property of if someone is rich they must be good. That where you get demons fly Commercial and thus Kenneth Copeland needs a private plane.

u/themeatbridge is right about conservatism being a void of ideology. Their only ethic is hierarchy. And their only goal is to oppose movements that disrupt that hierarchy. That's why their called reactionaries.
'The Reactionary Mind' by Robin is a decoder ring for how the right thinks. Not perfect, but eye-opening.

beautifully explained. imo, it is an i am/ we are the main character reframing of one's actions.
earning a spot to this kool kids club immediately feeds your inner main character fantasies.

TBH I feel this way about both establishment parties. And the voting system. We need to elect third parties now and get rid of establishment parties, as a longer range goal.

One reason the Right keeps winning is that people on the Left keep acting like they are obliged to only vote for perfect candidates that they agree with 100% on everything.
The most successful Socialist politician in US history was Fiorella LaGuardia in New York City. He build a Fusion Party with the GOP and Communists. You think everyone who voted for him loved him?

I feel like "lets stop bombing children", or "maybe people shouldn't go bankrupt because of healthcare", or "maybe the rich should pay their taxes", or "stop backing a genocide", or "we should probably get rid of torture facilities" are a far cry from "obliged to only vote for perfect candidates that they agree with 100% on everything."
I'm all for voting for a candidate I don't totally agree with, I do it every time. But lets not pretend that the Democrats are doing a good job of reaching out to their voter-base. There's a reason their current polling is so low.

thats fine but one party needs to never be in power again so short term that needs to happen.
