They'll use just about anyone strategically. At the end of the day, (and individuals and some examples of modern party representations aside), at it's core liberalism is about equality and conservativism is about hierarchy.
There's room for you until there ain't. And when you're no longer needed for those at the top of the hierarchy (in ascending order with very little wiggle room: Male<WASP<Generational Wealth Trifecta) then you're getting kicked off the lifeboat and thrown to the sharks. You shouldn't even be upset about it bc you knew how the game was played.
No hard feelings and congrats! You were so close to making it this time. You won't make it next time either, or the time after that, but maybe just do some laps and try again in a few more generational cycles (lulz!). Be sure to use those bootstraps to keep yourself afloat, and remember, sharks can smell fear, so do try to keep the thrashing and hysterical theatrics to a minimum. Thnx!
