    I pledge allegiance to the Free Market of the United States of America, and to the Corporations for which it stands, one Nation under Profit, indivisible, with liberty and justice for shareholders.

      Funny thing is there’s so many things the GOP does that are super anti-free market. Corn and soybean subsidies, fossil fuel subsidies, restrictive zoning, parking minimums, curb setback requirements, lot size minimums, trade wars, general protectionism, etc.

      GOP doesn’t have principles beyond “fuck you, got mine”. Any they claim to have are just PR. Their “family values” involve protecting and electing known pedophiles. Their “free speech” involves book burnings and firing teachers for teaching “wokeism”. Their “law and order” involves protecting a criminal ex-president facing a litany of criminal charges. Their “small government” involves intruding upon the private lives of consenting adults and trampling any designated out-groups with the full force of state violence.
