The problem with right wing politics is that, eventually, you run out of social programs to cut.
Then you can concentrate on exploiting the poor you just created. For example organ market needs a steady supply.
I swear to god years ago I saw a post or a comment where someone unironically suggested organ donation from the poor as a way to suppliment their income. Pretty sure it was a hardcore libertarian thinking the free market could fix poverty by literally selling a part of yourself.
My point would be to say "Sure, you go first."
Basta Millei.
At that point you invent an enemy to diabolize and … wait !
The problem with fascism is that you eventually run out of minorities to demonize (unironically happened to Fidesz, and they got into power by demonizing Roma people and the disabled for "cheating welfare money").
