    It’s not like they haven’t already tried it either. We’ve been doing the same policies since Reagan and they continue to fail and continue to be doubled down on. Hell, Kansas was touted as the example of what conservative policies could do under Brownback. They created their conservative utopia and it crashed hard. They couldn’t even afford to keep their schools open for the full school year.

    Conservatives looked at that massive failure and said they wanted more.
