American liberals are definitely a strange phenomenon, but American conservatives are also interesting for their inability to actually protect their own assets.

As to California, an unpleasant fact that conservatives won't tell you is that Reagan was the one who started the processes that turned California into a permanent Democrat state. The same thing is happening in Texas right now.

It's just a catchier term for deregulation, really. When was the last time conservatives actually downsized a governmental institution that worked against their interests or the interests of their voters?
