is that there are consequences to the lies they've been telling people for the last 40 years.
If health and retirement entitlements are so bad, then they ought to be eliminated.
If the government can't do anything right, then it shouldn't actually do anything.
If abortion is wrong, then it should be criminalized.
If climate change isn't happening then we shouldn't do anything about it.
Modern cons seem like the dog that caught the car. The dog doesn't know how to drive. The dog doesn't even think a car should drive. That's why they chased it in the first place. In the first issue of the National Review, William F. Buckley said "It stands athwart history, yelling Stop, at a time when no one is inclined to do so, or to have much patience with those who so urge it." I think he launched a movement that succeeded in slowing the government to a stop. But where do the Republicans go from here?
In other words, cons have basically arrived at their destination and now they are in a position to actually act on their rhetoric. And people want no part of their actual agenda, which has been fueled on lies and bullshit and fear and paranoia.
