Right-wing economic politics are completely incompatible with a world where AI/Robots start taking vast swathes of jobs. In the face of this, right-wingers either have to admit they were wrong or double down on mental gymnastics.

Given most people drawn to right wing ideology have fragile egos, it's nearly always going to be the latter and so what they say is going to appear increasingly absurd and contradictory
