If big government is the price of "good outcomes," the American right is increasingly willing to pay it.
quote:

the true object of the nationalists' ire is much closer to home: They cannot abide individual Americans making social and economic choices they do not like. For consumers, the question might be whether to buy foreign or domestic. For a business owner, it might be where to open a factory. For a parent, it might be whether or not to attend drag queen story hour at the local library. Regardless, the new nationalists have decided not only that there is a right answer from a moral perspective but that government should force you to choose correctly.
I don't agree with the whole piece, but I do think conservatives have chosen lately to cozy up to big government a little too much for my liking.

Enforcing immigration laws is not big government

It’s a basic function of government

Tired of living in bizzaro world.

Who does the left want to take care of health care? Of college expenses? Of the environment?

Says the left wing tech groups in silicon valley.

Wonder how many regressives have been shadow banned today.

Exactly, it is a direct provision of "Common Defense". What is more fundamental than repelling and invasion of the country?

Yes, because Conservatives are the ones:

-Demanding people be banned and doxxed for expressing a viewpoint different from their own

-Screaming that it should be a crime to make fun of an elected official

-Calling anyone who criticized a minority official racist

Will you ever get over 5he fact that your Messiah, the anti-American, race-baiting community agitator named Barack Hussein Obama, will never be your President again?

I don't think you will.

When the federal government tells a state who's allowed in there and who's not, that's exactly federal government. Not that that's the point. Conservatives have been led to believe that immigration is a bigger problem than it is, and they're unpresidentedly eager to demand that big government fix this "problem" for them.

The several hundred attendees of this week's National Conservatism conference have a different vision for American politics. The event brought together a variety of speakers to discuss and defend, in explicit terms, the need for a new nationalism.

I'm interested to see what brand of conservatism this was

True. It's another form of collectivism

Well, I'm on the right, and I'm accusing the right of doing what the left is doing.

This is just another scare tactic from the left. I personally don't believe there should be drag queen story hour for children at public libraries, but who am I to prevent demented parents from taking their own kids. As long as I am not FORCED to take my kids.

This is the left projecting once again. They need to government to protect and implement their ideology but are accusing the right of doing it.

Does something bad have to happen to you or a loved one of yours for you to get off your immigration high horse?

I know that sounds harsh, but your outright flippant attitude towards those who have had their lives negatively impacted by someone who should not be here is incredibly insulting
