Without naming names, I'm reminded that a good few conservatives here are susceptible to mass-crackdowns on individual liberties and free expression whenever it suits them. Not to mention ignoring how their own history of moralism, self-righteous unkindness, and selective big-government simping either caused or exacerbated many of the problems we have now.
Trump and MAGA may not have been the boogeymen the Globalists painted them as (in fact, I'm actually more sympathetic to everyday Trump supporters), but there's little doubt in mind that as the Left keeps pushing the envelope, lots of stodgy (but by and large harmless) conservative-leaning people will flock to a strongman of their own who's a whole lot worse. Really, if there's anything that'll screw mankind over more than Globalism or AI, it's the naivety of masses who think they can hand government power to The Right People (TM) and expect them to wield it more "responsibly" than the last guys.

Not for the first nor last time - see erroneous use of "shrapnel" replacing "fragment".
