    Pretty much. If you really look at true modern American conservative values. There is a belief anyone can climb as hard as they are willing to work. If anything we believe in a more oval shape where the majority of Americans are in the middle.

    Democrats are more about a pyramid shape where you have the rich ruling class, a small middle class and a large group of poor people who depend on the government. It’s why the war on poverty, increased poverty. It’s a feature.

      An objectively false belief. The American dream has been dead for decades.

      Tell me you don’t understand anything about the left without telling me.

      There are certainly oligarch owned democrats who are in favor of a rich ruling class (with that said, republicans are far worse about this).

      And then there are the progressives, the actual leftists that begrudgingly vote democrat, and want to see an end to the ruling class and dependence on the state.
