"I'm not a fan of murdering women, people of color, and LGBT people, but I still believe that Trickle Down Economics work! Long Live Capitalism!"
Or maybe it's Arnold Schwarzenegger who still want to pretend the repepublican party still exists and play RINO. Like... Dude just leave already, its a nazi party. π€¦ββοΈ (Maybe he's doing a deep-cover Terminator Infiltration? π€)
Greedy cunt
They voted for trump and agree with everything he says but don't want to own up to it
Assuming they're American: they're an idiot. Sorry. They don't understand how things are intertwined, and you can't have social justice for free. If you let laissez-faire policies be, you don't get socially liberal outcomes. You get capitalist dystopia.
Raging asshole.
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.
"Liar."
Libertarians don't actually care about social progress if it affects a business's bottom line negatively.
I assume they vote liberal or are uncomfortable being seen as the hateful sack of shit they are.
If we're talking America the parties align like this:
Republican: Socially regressive, fiscally liberal
Are massive tax cuts really considered fiscally liberal? The vast majority of the deficits that Republicans cause are due to tax cuts choking government funding.
I would think they want to not get caught up in a culture war, but also don't want a ton of government programs and costs and don't want to incur debt.
But people have no idea what anything means anymore and they just use words, like woke, and they use them wrong. So who even knows if people are talking about the same thing.
They pine for the Blue Dogs and haven't updated their policy preferences since the early 90's.
I think "You're a fucking liar".
"I don't like being held responsible for the outcomes of the fiscal policies I fully support"
I think we have countless words. We should use our words.
We all have a spectrum of social and economic and other ideals.
Those who want to lead us have theirs too, and theyβre the ones who need us to commit and compartmentalize into ideologies and macro definitions that get twisted.
I think the person saying it wants to avoid family or acquaintances giving them shit for not sharing their political views.
Most of my family is very conservative stereotype vile people. I've heard that exact phrase from the few left leaning relatives as they try to wigle out of unconfortable conversations. I myself am the black sheep that just tells the repugnicans that their views disgust me.
"I'm an upper middle class asshole but Republicans are terrible company and won't smoke weed with me"
"I like pot and hookers and pretend I'm better at managing money than you."
To an extent, you can make an argument for each individually. But they don't mix. After a while, you'd be a walking contradiction. For a fun *exercise, try to imagine the opposite.
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
My first thought is to wonder what they mean, as opposed to deciding it must be the worst thing I can think of.
Housing and human rights matter and we should stop spending so much money on bombing houses and killing people.

Depends on if they mean capital C conservative or not
Conservative with a hard r.
