A "conservative" government threatens to shut down private businesses. Wait, what?

Maybe the billionaire hotel magnate from New York should arrange a leveraged buyout of the business he doesn't like, and shut it down when he owns it.

Just to distance myself from the current "conservative" establishment, I would argue that their views are not conservative so much as they are a relatively newer form of fascism. Typically with fascism there is nationalism that prioritizes the citizens of the nation above all else, but with this new "conservatism" in the US, the nationalism is a bit more race-based. But other than that it's much more close to fascism than what we in the US typically considered "conservatism".

Maybe we need a new word for it altogether?

Ethnofascism or Ethnopluralism...
