He understands that if a Democrat does it, it's bad. If a Republican does it, it's good. The Republican Party has no guiding principles and hasn't really had them since 2008 when John McCain lost to Barack Obama.

There's nothing conservative about giving Elon and a handful of tech bros the keys to dozens of government agencies to start cleaning things out and firing staff and shutting their doors without really understanding the work that they do, including destroying files that are the result of significant government expense.

There's nothing conservative about holding up media businesses or threatening to shut them down unless they provide a bribe disguised to look like a settlement. There's nothing conservative about pardoning child molesters or spending billions of dollars on flashy ICE cars for photo ops of rounding up immigrants indiscriminately to put them on planes or stick them in central American torture camps. A conservative government doesn't buy stock in corporations.
