1. I have a number of #NeverTrump conservatives in my feed, Many of them express support for #AHCA or call out its critics as alarmists.

2. #AHCA makes failure in economic and social competition vastly more dangerous, greatly raising the stakes in the American meritocracy.

3. What conservative advocates of personal responsibility and consequences don't understand is that meritocracy is inherently fragile.

4. A meritocracy can only survive so long as the stakes of competition are not too high and the consequences of defeat are not too severe.

(((★Timurid★))) Because if too many people get defeated and the stakes are too high, they tend to band together and get a little guillotine-crazy.
