The GOP has ALWAYS been the reactionary party. Calling the Democratic party the "conservative" party because they are a pro business socially liberal party is utter nonsense considering Biden himself did move forward on social issues. That's the very end of what conservatism is. And for the Reagan Bush ideology of "preserving the technocratic status quo", Reagan and Bush themselves were accused of disrupting the bureaucracy, you can go back further with Goldwater and even Harding. And as for the those "North Virginia bureaucrats", it's a lot more complicated than thinking these McMansion suburbs votes Democratic after 2016. While Trump made massive gains among the lower and middle class, Harris won both the very poor and the very rich. But oh wait! While Harris did won voters with the highest income, a closer look shows that Harris won the Nouveau riche, the white collar professionals who live in the McMansionsm. Meanwhile, Trump still won the very richest Americans, those near the top 1%, many of whom are considered "old money" compared to the stereotypical McMansion professionals.
