"I'm an uninformed idiot."

Conservatives are fiscally reckless. Look at every conservative president's deficit spending, and economic crashes. Look at the states most dependent on federal funds.

Even if you had zero morals and voted 100% on fiscal policies, the best choice is very clearly not conservative.

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:

  • Democrat: Socially moderate, fiscally conservative
  • Republican: Socially regressive, fiscally liberal

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.
