https://twitter.com/TheDailyShow/status/1387014413656330242It's really extraordinary... Biden's agenda includes trillions of dollars in new spending, but right-wingers and Fox News are focusing on Dr. Seuss and fictional bans on burgers. The reaction to Obama from the right was the Tea Party, focusing on excess government spending. The reaction to Biden is to double down on dumb culture war fights and conspiratorial fantasies.
Trump's presidency has completely destroyed the conservative movement.
You are conflating American conservatism with fiscal conservatism. Fiscal conservatism is one component of a much broader and more diverse movement.
Americans are concerned that Biden is promoting unscientific and historically specious programs like CRT in our schools. They want a secure border and to see immigration law enforced. They're alarmed by Big Tech's censorship of journalism and stifling of debate. They dislike that a majority of Americans are afraid to discuss politics out in the open. They want a strong police presence in their communities.
These are important issues to a large portion of the country. Trivializing these concerns ensures that you will perpetually misunderstand what is going on around you.
