Huh, and I thought conservatives were all about government staying our of the way of the private sector. Go figure...

Not these people for what I see.

Conservatives haven't had any power in Washington in decades. They are in thrall to MAGA now, which is all about seizing the means of production when its convenient.

Hate to break it to you, but Trump and MAGA are conservatives in the US. The conservative and Republican brand is tied to that wagon now. They're going to have to make a serious effort to separate the two if they ever want to get rid of the Trump stink.

They're not conservatives.

Conservatives in America have dismantled their party platform plank by plank to build a monument to Trump.

StOp MaKiNg EvErYtHiNg PolItIcaL

In an article that discusses Pentagon doing stupid shit? :)

That was without a doubt meant sarcastic.

Of course it was, thank you.

It's incredible that this needed to be explained.

As the sibling explained, it was sarcasm. It was satire of brain dead right wingers saying "stop making everything political" when political points apply, but then making things political politcal in stupid situations.

Example, someone shoots up a school, people say "if the Republican party hadn't obstructed gun legislation maybe this wouldn't have happened", they respond "StOp MaKiNg EvErYtHiNg PolItIcaL". But if the person is trans suddenly it's political.
