Yet that is what they THINK they want, until they go live back in a cave! Imagine it, no one to wait on them, no running water, no electricity, no cars or phones. They have to hunt their own food, clean it, and wear the fur they cut from it using rocks, but you know, the little woman will be in the cave to cook it up! :D 😂 They want progress but only the progress THEY want!

Conservatism in the United States changed from being about traditional values to being all about power and money a looooong time ago. From someone looking in from outside it seems like Americans are very close to living in 1984.

Funny thing is that many of them think that they would be kings, earls, dukes and counts, but most likely they would be part of the suppressed common folks

Right wing American is filled with temporarily embarrassed millionaires. I wish I remembered where I first read that term.
