None of it actually serious yanno. People can float all the perfect pie-in-the-sky plans they want in order to garner votes. That's why these things never actually get brought up in Congress when it matters. It's all just a bunch of hand-waving campaigning and tom-foolery. Entire swaths of conservatism have simply stopped being principled conservatives, and entirely anti-liberal, who "vote Newt to piss off a liberal". None of this has anything to do with governance. It's just identity politics and pissing off the other side because dang-nabbit, ooooh I hates dem libruls!
