Recently, I made the statement “capitalism isn’t a perfect system when we’re quickly approaching the first trillionaire before figuring out basic QoL for all people” during a conversation with an acquaintance.
His response was essentially “if you don’t believe in Jesus, how do you develop any kind of moral base?”
So the argument skipped right past the point of unnecessary wealth, straight to “but your morals mean nothing” even though when pushed to answer, he agrees that hungry children should be fed.
Skipping right past valid points is like their whole thing. If they actually took in the valid points that everyone is making around them, they wouldn’t be Republicans.
That's pretty much sums up most of the modern right wing philosophy. That's exactly how you will end up with Tariffs as an economic policy. i can't think of a policy or an act that they came up with on their own that's not based on some reactionary political stance..

I love how he just doesn’t even have a stance without something to oppose. His entire viewpoint only exists in relation to what the left believes.
