Unless a political ideology includes governing AI, It will be useless, and unfortunately I think it's too late for that.

I guess it would be based on maximizing freedom. Maybe play into the "small government" thing. They could say that freedom is often gatekept behind wealth, so we should have social programs. Abortion should be legal, so women can have more freedom. When it comes to queer rights, the government shouldn't be involved. Basically, make "small government" be about keeping government out of our private lives, but also giving us the means to live freely.
It seems like a lifetime ago, but Mitt Romney expanded healthcare in Massachusetts by creating the government option, which later became the blueprint for the ACA. That's how similar the Republicans and Democrats used to be. But the Republicans have moved so far Right, that now they call the government option a form of "Socialism." It's possible they go back to the public option, saying it's actually capitalistic because it encourages the free market to be better. But if that happens, it's going to be at least another twenty years.

"progressive" in the context of politics is a catch-22; every policy pushed forth by so called progressives is nothing but regressive to society...
expanding healthcare/pumping more money into a broken system only intensifies the corruption (as if it isn't bad enough already).
And Lincoln isn't a role model (unless you aspire to pass a bunch of unpopular policies like income taxes, creating widespread unrest and getting shot in the back of the head in a theatre...)
Teddy Roosevelt was the mold for Conservatism

@bijouxbroussard this. No chance I would ever vote GOP with this much hate.
