    Yep, it’s all bullshit. A simple translation:

    • Fiscal conservatism / small government = cutting benefits for poor people and minorities

    • States rights = allowing states to harm minorities through segregation and slavery. Only applies if the state level action harms poor people and minorities (then the federal government kicks in)

    • Freedom of speech = conservatives can say whatever they want without consequences; minorities get cancelled or much worse.

    • Keeping government out of the bedroom - conservatives can marry their child brides; the rest lose access to abortions and porn and eventually contraception and gay and interracial marriage.
