Thanks for bringing that up. I wholeheartedly agree with you. I am currently a reliable democratic voter but I wasn’t always on that side of the aisle. The idea of fiscal conservatism really appeals to me in the sense of a balanced budget and judiciously defined social programs that maximize ROI for the country. But social conservatism has been a pretty big moral failure, rooted in a number of moral panics. What exactly is wrong with being gay? Or trans? Or a woman? Or black? That part really became hard to swallow. But even if I ignored that, the GOP basically sold their soul for Trump’s Twitter following and at this point has no actual platform. Between 2017 and 2021 they racked up more national debt than any other government so even the pretense of fiscal responsibility is gone now. I know that supporting Democrats isn’t palatable to a lot of traditionally conservative voters but I am glad some are seeing more clearly what’s going on.
