It's like we MIGHT be part of a macroeconomic system that affects dozens of countries across the world?

I say this all the time. It's a complete fallacy to think modern "conservatism" equates to a productive and stimulated economy. It's fascinating that such a narrative has been continued to be parroted by folks, when data shows us this simply isn't true.
Modern conservatism is not the economic conservatism of the 60/70s, those people are long gone and dead, as is its ideology. Richard Nixon's Republican government formed the EPA, could you imagine modern Republicans eschewing their corrupt funders to form such an institution for the public today? Not a chance in hell.
