    I don't think their values have changed. Right-wingers don't believe in the meaning of words.

    Right-wingers don't believe in "hard work" and they never have, they believe in ownership and entitlement through hierarchy. When they talk about hard work, it is exclusively used to justify the status quo. If you're wealthy, it's because you've worked hard and if you're poor, it's because you've not worked hard enough. It also serves to peddle a fantasy of agency to their audiences.

      I noticed that too. When they talk about 'muh hard work' they're always talking about SOMEONE ELSE working hard, or putting an emphasis on finding ways to get others to do things FOR YOU.

      Even getting a job. For whatever reason porky wants us all to "network" or if we have rich friends, pester them into telling the company they are an executive in to to them a favor and hire you. When "networking" becomes a job requirement, isn't it a wacky coincidence when 'undesirables' can't get jobs? That clearly means they are inferior....but please ignore the fact that being unpopular bars you from working.
