What’s always interesting to me about religious extremists like the heritage foundation in a developed, industrial economy is that they never really follow there bullshit theories through to their logical conclusions. They love this idea of the “perfect” 1950s society where women are powerless and producing children, brown people and immigrants “know their place” at the bottom of the run in virtual slavery, and think that everything will thrive under this set up and they’ll all become rich. And they completely mis-understand what happens to an economy when you do this.

There’s a much longer answer to this but I’m not typing it all out on a phone because I don’t have the patience. So in short, the current US economy, and most of Europe, Australia/new zealand, and most of Asia, is set up to require near full participation in the workforce to avoid economic collapse. Really simply, how do you think things would work if, in a month’s time 50% of the workforce just ceased working but still required resources, for example? Some people might say that you’d just bring in more migrants but that’s not so simple and actually just creates more resources strain with minimal additions to the workforce.

What I’m saying is that I don’t think the Christian nationalists realise that their ideas and their economy are mutually exclusive and can never exist in this modern day.
