WHAT THE REPUBLICAN PARTY WANTS? A REPUBLIC.
(that’s our unique inheritance)

So, you’re wrong.

Republicans just don’t want an authoritarian state government or economy like western european social democracies (france) because they are unsurvivable, and american world advantage that drives the world’s innovation and consumption would be unsurvivable.

This is especially true given the exhaustion of western institutional and technological advantage by globalization, the exhaustion of non-western group potential under the rules based order that allowed globalization, and the failure of globalization to end the age of authoritarian agrarian empires because the west was too ‘kind’ to China and Russia instead of finishing the transition in world war two.

Westerners are W.E.I.R.D. And our experience with immigration and multiculturalism has demonstrated we remain so – and the rest of the world can’t adapt to western high trust responsibility (“Whiteness”). So they have given up on Republics (liberalism) and are returning to the safety of low trust authoritarianism.

Our experimental project has failed.

The Republicans and now the Court are trying to restore rule of law, by the natural law, of commonality (in law) concurrency in voting) and individual responsibility and to end legal activism, circumventing commonality and concurrency.

Because they are trying to preserve the republic (rule of law, natural law, commonality, concurrency) that requires we agree by class and region when voting, and before passing legislation, or codifying findings of the court.

And you are trying to create a democracy (popular rule) which always and everywhere must without exception result in a race to the bottom of authority, corruption, and poverty.

Though as far as I know the restoration of the republic will require devolution of much of the federal government (domestic empire) back to the states. (And this is toing to happen anyway if we are to avoid a bloody house to house civil war on the scale of the wars of religion.)

Why? Conservative maximization of individual responsibility in exchange for liberty (prohibition on authority) vs progressive minimization of responsibiilty in exchange for safety (generating demand for authority).

Simple example: western conservative truth-before-face and the high trust result, and progressive face-before-truth (woke) and the decline in social trust (bowling alone).

You feel like you’re right. But you’re wrong, and you must be, and there is no possibility that you’re not. It’s just science.
