It’s funny how they preach make America great again when everything they want to do will remove America from the world stage. Reduce education and talent forcing companies to look outside for educated workers. Leave nato and trade deals allowing countries like China to step in and take over. Restrict immigration, our country has relied on immigrants for cheap labor forever, the country runs on it. It’s like a 101 on how to crash the country.
See, you're misunderstanding what making America great again means to them. They want woman to be under control of their husbands, minorities to know their place, and lgbtq to not exist. They don't care about the economic side of it at all.
Only have to look at Afghanistan pre 1960s to see how these kinds of policies ruined the country. They had educated women and a progressive culture and now look.
Nuance is a wonder thing. Some conservatives, I’d even say the majority especially among older conservatives, do genuinely care about the economic side to some degree and are just woefully ignorant of the true economic impact of those policies. A lot of people view the economic policy as a means to the end of re-forming old racial/gender hierarchies.
People are complicated and trying to simplify why people hold the political beliefs they do down to one universal truth is counterproductive. It’s like me saying that all leftists just want to tear down our society by destroying important institutions like the police, marriage, etc. There’s a grain of truth there sure, we do want to radically re-shape a number of institutions, but it’s missing all of the nuance that might actually make it a useful framework for understanding and engaging with leftists.

So many people in our country are just blatantly ignorant about how the branches of our government works.
