As a citizen of The Rest Of The World, I would say American right-wing politics looks like this: First, consider what would benefit the most people or the environment in our current situation. Next, enact the exact opposite.
It’s incredible to me how representatives of the populous who are supposed to be, you know, representing the populous, continuously pass laws that fuck the population over.
Well you see, this is because the laws that are passed benefit the rich, and the right-wing citizens are told to vote that way because it’s totally Good For Them (or at least, will make the Libruls mad).
And, of course, the neoliberal problem of money in politics warping incentives. Courting corporations for campaign donations has utterly destroyed any semblance of actual representation of the populace.
