    Agreed. Those “values” they pretend to uphold are not the core of the beliefs though. The core of it is white supremacy and patriarchy. Capitalism and Liberal democracy do a good job of maintaining and masking these ideologies. The gial is maintaining those hierarchies. Literally supporting the machine.

      Those “values” in many cases come from them not realizing that they actually agree with the left on a lot of stuff but they just want a single man to do it for them instead of trusting the collective.

      Ex: Most of Trump’s electors don’t want to lose their social security, but they don’t trust the system to not allow abuse to happen, so they actually believe in something that is fundamentally a socialist measure, they just want Trump to tell them he’ll be the one making sure that fraud doesn’t happen (when in reality he’s going to cut it for most).
