Conservatives believe that government is subject to capture by benefitted constituencies, so that once something is in place it is very difficult to get rid of it....But if you get rid of it, it's never coming back, because then the equation is reversed. Now, putting it back requires political capital. That sounds right. Sarah Longwell had an interesting audio poll on the Bulwark (paid subscription, though):
thebulwark.com - Its really good and really bad with in which she discussed the last 60 days with trump voters who were previous Biden voters and how they feel now. She put them in the still pro-trump camp and the wary-of-trump camp.
The fascinating thing about those who were wary felt that while trump is throwing the baby out with the bathwater and tearing up the Constitution they, on the hand, applaud his preventing trans kids from getting hormones in a kind of equal weight view.
