They still spout off about free markets all the time with no sense of irony.

They'll literally tell you it's not raining while you're standing there getting soaked. [1] Anything the Republicans say is meaningless.

Literally who? The young MAGA folks in congress like Josh Hawley certainly don’t. I guess Rand Paul is a free market guy, but he’s pretty much the only one. Even Susan Colins is signing onto tariffs and other nonsense.

Anyone that complains about socialism or communism as a criticism of democrats is pretending to be a free market capitalist.

I disagree. They're simply engaging in culture war posturing where socialism is simply a byword for "bad people". They call democrats socialists and argue for nationalizing OpenAI and some steel mills. They aren't for the free market, they're just dumb. Marjorie Taylor Greene typifies this kind of behavior.
