1. The usual conservative M.O.

The usual conservative M.O.:

1) Complain about liberals' supposed failings that must be the root of some real crisis that is taking American lives and causing billions in economic damage;

2) Claim to know the solution to the crisis;

3.1) Refuse to reveal said supposed solution, or to lift a finger to cooperate with any liberals who are facing the crisis or trying to solve the crisis, leaving the death toll and economic damage mounting;

3.2) Never admit that they don't really have an actual solution or a clue. Never let on that it bothers them to be so apparently heartless, pretending to have a solution yet still fiddling while Rome burns. (Rightwing media will have their backs.)

4) Campaign on how inept liberals supposedly are. Because, hey - Never let a good crisis go to waste when you can make points for your team, even if Americans lose their homes and their lives.


Note: A "real crisis" is like COVID or the L.A. fires, distinct from the fantasy crises that conservatives fashion out of wishful thinking and utter bullshit, which is another part of their usual M.O.
