    “I vote Republican, but I’m self-aware enough to know that I should be embarrassed about it.” (In the US)

      I’ve heard it more the exact opposite way. “I vote Democrat but I am really tired liberals doing nothing to curb government corruption or tax the rich more.”

        Eliminating corruption is not “fiscally conservative,” it’s just fiscally responsible. Same with taxing the rich.

          “We should run the government like a business!”

          Then why cut revenue as soon as you take power?

          Yeah. A lot of folks I’ve met view it as fiscally conservative though.

            you’re a piece of shit of a “human”. Fucking die. You will never know love, your existence is futile, you never have been happy, nobody really loves you. You suck.
