the GOP brand of fiscal conservatism and low taxes has somehow outlasted reality at least since reagan. it has become orwellian in the economy, and not limited to trump nor MAGA.

out of thousands of anecdotes, my favorite is regards to cannabis.
long addicted themselves to state revenue from 'sinful' tobacco and alcohol, it is the tardy GOP support for cannabis revenue that has finally pushed it into legality for many states. and the pressure on GOP 'ethics' brand ramps up as more state tax revenue leaks to legal adjacent states.
to simplify for MAGA, this is MORE taxes on small business that has a unique ~90% level of public approval. the illegal vendors under-report or pay NO taxes.
