    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

      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 mean yeah probably. I mean when I think of defining liberal economics I think of what would Adolphe Thiers say. So yeah I think he’d be okay with handouts to his rich friends. Enriching the bankers and fucking over the working class.
