You're the person Steve Bannon believes and hopes exists; willing to abandon social causes for false claims of economic populism, which the right-wing blathers on about but does nothing about. DeSantis and Hawley and Cotton, won't raise the minimum wage, but they will talk about economic populism and then have fun gutting civil rights protections under the guise of religious freedom. And you are anxious to join them.

First of all, I voted for Biden, for Pete's sake. Second, how does my post indicate that I'm "anxious to join them"? I explicitly said that, even if the Bannon-esque political realignment were real (I agree with you that it has, at least so far, been fake), I would find it "morally impossible" to choose between an economically populist but socially reactionary right and a socially liberal but elitist faux-left.
