I feel like conservatives only care about winning elections and not actually improving the country
It feels like the only thing conservatives actually care about is just winning but not actually making the US a better place to live. This Trump presidency has been objectively bad. It’s not really debatable. The unemployment rate has not improved much at all if any from a few years ago and has actually gotten worse. It is 4.2% now compared to 3.6% in 2022, then you have infectious disease spreading through food across the US.
US soldiers are being starved at sea and some of them are jumping ship, one of the big conservative principles was being pro-military which Trump doesn’t appear to be.
Donald Trump can barely stay away during his White House briefings, which they used to criticize Joe Biden about. You cannot criticize one party about something and then later allow the exact same thing to happen. If that was truly a principle they had they wouldn’t have elected a guy who also can’t stay awake.
The US has been at war with Iran over the strait of Hormuz for months when Trump was marketed as a war stopper and ender. A few days ago he stated he was willing to declare victory in the Iran war without a nuclear deal. So the strait which wasn’t closed before got closed, people died and we may not get the nuclear deal.
There’s no consistent principles that MAGA seems to have. It just changes by the day. It is not clear exactly what they stand for so it seems like they just want their team to win and they don’t care about if it actually helps the US.
