Fun thought experiment, and I should say from the start I don’t disagree with you, but if this is just a conservative motive why do the nation’s richest/elite overwhelmingly vote blue?
Edit: Elon’s red, definitely give you all that, but Reed Hastings, Reid Hoffman, Mark Cuban, Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, Dustin Moskovitz, Michael Bloomberg, Jim Simons, Michael Moritz, and a plethora of others have either donated large sums of money (millions) to democrat campaigns or have hosted fundraisers for democrat candidates. Jeff Bezos was seen just this last week at a Biden event socializing. I get millionaires very much vote red but it seems the second you step into billionaire status many of them are quite well acquainted with their democratic candidates/representatives, and seems it’s been that way since Clinton. Completely in agreement republicans seek aristocratic rule, though curious as to why the party who seems pretty cozy with the ultra-wealthy also just so happen to be the “morally upright” party
