What chides me the most is the underlying origin of the Republican Party, the very much needed fiscal conservatism, is now missing. It’s been traded for saboteurs rigging things to fail so they can gut chunks of government.
Was "fiscal conservatism" the origin of the Republican party?
From wiki:
Fiscal conservatism is just a GOP invented MacGuffin to give them cover when they employ their advisorial antigovernance strategy. Every time we put a conservative in charge they blow the deficit up and funnel money to their backers.
Then they cry fiscal conservatism when a DEM takes power and say we need to cut social programs. Fiscal conservatism is a lie people continue to believe in because they hate anyone getting a break that isn't themselves. Themselves or wealthy white men who they project their own ambitions onto.
They also see wealth as a kind of virtue in and of itself, one that should be rewarded.
That is true.
From blog:
I don't know, I wasnt going to do a deep dive because I already know the republican party is a reanimated corpse of the party it once was.
