The funny thing about conservatives is that they won't come out and say what they want to happen to people who have benefitted from liberal reforms since, say, 1949.

People say that liberals have no vision of the world, but that's not true. What's more accurate to say is that no one has a vision of the world that doesn't already exist.

Liberals have no economic vision bc the conservative economic order is more or less the one we have. Similarly, conservatives have no clear social vision, bc the liberal social order is more or less the one we have. (I'm talking culture and mindset here, not policy ofc).

(and re: culture not policy that's true for both, right? Bc obviously no one practices a pure free market capitalism, but that's sort of held up as the ideal or the normal cultural position, and those who dissent are Outside The Mainstream. That's hopefully changing since 2008.)

That’s what Mark Lilla said: liberals won the social revolution, conservatives (and rich people) won economic rev. So everyone pissed off.

Sigh. Mark Lilla is simultaneously completely right and completely wrong about absolutely everything.
