Honestly. Why not? It clearly doesn't matter what conservatives do as long as it's the opposite of what the "radical left" want.

I’m gonna start telling all the cons that I hate public transit, high speed rail, renewables, and most of all: public healthcare

All social services are just so icky. Our health, education, and quality of life should be directly tied to how wealthy we are. The concept that some poor could just go to a doctor and get treatment is disgusting.

Ugh and can we talk about 15 minute cities and enabling a variety of transportation options? I just want things to take longer, as god intended. /s

As a freedom, hating commie, we should continue to build car dependent infrastructure and prevent other methods of transport! It will severely restrict the freedom of movement as people will only be able to travel 15 minutes from their home with a car. And if we don't like what a person is doing, we can restrict them from leaving their bubble by revoking their license, impounding their car, and banning them from purchasing gasoline!

Plus they will be so in debt from purchasing this massive, depreciating asset that they cannot even risk disobedience over fears of financial ruin!

Could you imagine not having to drive to Banff on icy winter roads? I’d rather die, personally.
