That's fairly close to what I'm saying, except it's absolutely not just MAGA. It was Nixon and Reagan and Bush I and Gingrich and Bush II and Cheyney and Delay and Boehner and Romney and every Republican in leadership positions over the last 100 years.

gingrich started the whole thing in the senate where they would refuse every bill til the dems capitulated, which mitch also caught on and started doing ti since.

Gingrich was in the house though.

Wasn't he the one who decided that no bill would come to a vote unless the majority of Republican representative supported it?

I don't disagree, I was just trying to quote what I heard as exactly as I remembered it.

I would argue that there is a version of conservatism that is an ideology, but it hasn't been the predominant form in the US for quite some time.
