In the U.S. “fiscal conservatism doesn’t exist” so I hope you are voting against the hate mongers and trying to reform their opposition into balancing the budget (difficult when the hate mongers keep fucking the tax code in favor of the ultra-rich).

“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 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.
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.
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
“Sure the problems are bad, but the causes? The causes are good.”
Screaming from the far left, there are a lot of people in scarcity or precairity in our society, a society that would collapse if they all suddenly fell incapacitated from their want.
It is our fucking duty as fellow citizens to stabilize them.
Conservatism at its core is ignoring their need in the name of tradition. To the ninth charnel circle of Hell with that.

Sounds a lot like economically right, but politically liberal
“I vote Republican, but I’m self-aware enough to know that I should be embarrassed about it.” (In the US)
I’ve heard it more the exact opposite way. “I vote Democrat but I am really tired liberals doing nothing to curb government corruption or tax the rich more.”
Eliminating corruption is not “fiscally conservative,” it’s just fiscally responsible. Same with taxing the rich.
Yeah. A lot of folks I’ve met view it as fiscally conservative though.
“We should run the government like a business!”
Then why cut revenue as soon as you take power?
