"I actually found I have a lot in common with a few of the more sane thinking paleoconservatives. Like, I’m all for protecting the natural ecology & biosphere, all for low energy consumption, and all for getting rid of neoliberals and neoconservatives. I’m all for eliminating government corruption and boondoggles and waste."
It's interesting to me that I've also found a bit of common ground with some of the statements by an unhinged, far right. They almost sound like post-growthers at times. If paleoconservative is the name for them, then I was unaware. But that seems to be the case.
The center is well and truly broken at this point. I think the lesson here is that they are framing a message that a public will identify with more. This message needs to have a bit of truth to it. Perhaps more than a little bit. The people at the top of course could not care less, and just need a message that will serve their agenda.

Yep. It's a shame sometimes what "goes with...".
For a mundane example: I stopped going to live One Day Cricket decades ago because the toilets. 🤣
