I am socially liberal and with my personal budget, fiscally conservative. Government money? Different priorities, plenty of stuff would be cheaper when we pool our money like that, so I’m not sure what fiscally conservative means. My gut reaction is that this person isn’t socially liberal because regressive government fiscal policies harm the population, you can’t really split it out like that. I guess it’s someone who doesn’t care who you marry or how you dress but also doesn’t care if the schools are any good or if there is any enforcement of the rights to do the socially liberal things.

“You’ve been duped”. Because people like this never acknowledge the amount of corporate welfare going on in America, if you want to be fiscally conservative, stop paying for profit companies from government coffers. Don’t go after food stamps, that is just veiled prejudice
“I’m a dumb cunt”
“I don’t hate you because you’re a POC, a woman, or queer. I hate you because you’re poor.”
“I’m a prick but I also like to smoke weed”
A walking example of privilege
“I’m discriminating towards poor people”.
“Fuck the poor but I do like to smoke weed”
They don’t pay attention to the world around them.
To the small handful of socially liberal and fiscally conservative folks that found this thread let me ask a few questions:
- Does it make more fiscal sense to build a chemical treatment plant next to a neighborhood of people that can afford lawyers or a neighborhood of those that can’t?
- What is the social makeup of each of those neighborhoods?
- How did that social makeup come to be?
They believe in the social policies of the Democrats and the financial policies of conservatives?
I mean I would ask follow up questions but at face value that would be what they meant no?
The democrats are fiscally conservative. The GOP believes in budget unbalancing tax cuts and are fiscally liberal.
So the person who says what’s in the post title is probably just a centrist Democrat. Which explains why they’re getting so much hate here.
So you’re of the opinion that somehow by making five hundred austerity cuts saving two million dollars each the GOP will shave a trillion from the budget? Is Trump going to increase or decrease the deficit in your mind?
I’m not an econ major and I have no fucking clue what is gonna happen with king Cheeto and his goons. I assume any time a politician says they are gonna do something they are probably not going to do that. Maybe half of what they say is true if we are lucky.
I saw we kill em all and start over.
My friend who managed to be as right as it could even be in a political compass test which I thought was impossible, the man was a hyper capitalist
“I don’t actively hunt members of marginalized communities with one of my many obnoxiously customized firearms but I still have a weird kink for giving tax cuts to billionaires in exchange for a worsened quality of life because I have a 12 year old’s understanding of how the world works.”
I will get high with you, and then turn you into the cops when you can’t pay rent.
“I’m not gay, but $20 is $20.”
“I believe good things but don’t want to actually sacrifice anything or be responsible for any of my actions that my prevent good things from happening”
'I’m conservative and racist and I’m fully aware of that. However, I have enough sense not to say that in polite society… Unless you’re cool with it? "
