Summary
Why do the same conservative promises keep getting made election after election — while almost nothing actually changes? Today, I argue that the biggest obstacle to solving America's problems isn't liberal Republicans — it's the financial incentives inside the Republican Party and "conservative inc." All of the loudest voices on the Right earn their careers, audiences, and influence from maintaining the status quo rather than fixing it. Through this thesis, I examine a couple of major betrayals of core MAGA and conservative priorities, including immigration enforcement, COVID vaccine policy, judicial power, government surveillance, primary elections, foreign policy, data centers, and more. If you've ever wondered why campaign promises rarely become policy, this episode serves it up to you 100 proof. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
