The party of small government.

[-] Iron_Lynx@lemmy.world 38 points 1 year ago

For a party that prides itself on being all about "small government" and "no nanny state," this is some surprisingly big government nanny state shenanigans

The small government libertarian types were lowered in priority in the party after two decades of people pandering to them because there's basically nobody out there that's a fiscal conservative and a social liberal.

Trump and his grip on the GOP are evidence again of that same thing. There are more "conservatives" that are actually fiscal liberals and social conservatives than there are right libertarians.

The rich would (for the most part) love to get the tax breaks and allow people to do whatever they want socially, but that (and virtue signaling) are not enough to rile up the fascist voters and evangelicals anymore.

They've crossed the Rubicon with Trump and now it's full on censorship and other Nazi tactics to take us back to the good old (non-existent) days.

I’m just going to sit over here in my fiscally conservative and socially liberal corner.

(Although, I’m good with some level of safety nets still)
