MAHA GETS IT!

She seems to understand that the conservative narratives are internally and externally inconsistent and I hope more people catch on to this fact because if we destroy their memes, we destroy conservatism in America. Here's her key paragraph:
Other than that, however, conservatives don’t make sense. They want “small government” but a big military. They support war as a solution to foreign policy problems, but they don’t want to raise taxes to pay for war. They want “liberty” but support warrantless wiretaps. They want “free markets” but mostly support corporate welfare. They want government “off our backs” but in our bedrooms.

There are other contradictions: one could add the suspension of an 800-year tradition in law (Habeas Corpus) and the conservatives' intrusion into the Schiavo case.
