I agree that framing is important. For example, I don't support new taxes or making drugs legal.

I DO support repealing tax cuts and repealing cannabis prohibition.

Still, I suspect that conservatives oppose many of these things regardless of framing, due to an "I got mine" mindset. The trick is to frame these issues in a way that appeals to their self interest.

For example, instead of "universal healthcare is the right thing to do for the dignity of our population", we need to frame it as "universal healthcare will save taxpayers money".

Sure they have. We call them Democrats.

I'd argue they're still pretty faschy. or at least pre-faschy, like paint primer.
