The old adage, follow the money, applies to every situation which entails injustice and attacks against the rights and privileges that Americans take so much for granted.  There is no doubt that profit is the underlying motivation of the conservative movement, but perhaps more heinous is the ideological motivation that is behind it.

With a patriotic, a nationalistic, and religious ideology in place the conservative movement can justify their actions without having to retort to the truth: base monetary desire.

Make no mistake about it, the conservative movement that placed Trump and his administration into office is motivated by money, but money does not sell, ironically enough.  What does sell is ideology.  Both are powerful tools, money and ideologies, especially in the rhetorical realities of people who have the one and lack the other.

The conservative movement’s current stranglehold on this country is no less than a legal government takeover.  Money buys power, and power makes laws.  While the conservative movement is nothing less than a criminal movement, it is not altogether illegal.

The legalization of criminal acts is the beginning of the end for any country, as history will attest to.  And the legitimacy of the Trump administration and the conservative movement that supports it hinges upon nothing more than empty laws.  The emperor has no clothes, but it is becoming against the law to point this out.
