So my wife has an ex-husband who lives in Texas (by choice - loves it there, owns “let’s go Brandon” stuff). They’ve been divorced long enough that their interactions are cordial. She’s a civil servant, and she mentioned to him that all the attacks on federal workers have her worried about her job. His response to this, and many many things, was, “you’ll be fine.”
All this is to say, I think when conservatives don’t understand or don’t want to think about things, they default to “it’ll be fine.” And it will… Until it isn’t. Then they look for who to blame.

I think they have a wheel hidden somewhere of who do we blame today?
