They do exist, but seemingly not in the US anymore. In Canada we call them Progressive Conservatives (basically "be as gay as you want but don't raise my taxes") and they're becoming a dying breed too.

Sure, sure, and if only I just took a trip to transylvania I would see dracula, no doubt.

It's true, we really do have them! There was even a gay progressive conservative premier (governor equivalent) in my province.

The ideology is real, the representation is virtually non-existent. One can support human rights and social programs while standing firmly against governmental expansion, private sector subsidies, and business tax credits. You just won’t have anyone to represent you in most governments.

This does not fit into any iteration of America conservatism

I’m referring to the political ideology. It’s not exclusive to the US.

Everyone is fiscally conservative. Absolutely nobody wants their goals met with more cost than necessary. Meaningless weasle words from people with ulterior motives.

What they say is "I don't like spending money."

What they mean is "I don't like spending my money, but I love spending yours."
