But then I learned that fiscal conservatism is a direct descendent of white supremacist/racist conservatism. Lower taxes and decreased regulations/small government means oppressed populations don't get the things they need. Lee Atwater and other openly confessed that that was the entire point, too.

So fuck fiscal conservatism. To be fair, if someone claims to be "fiscally conservative but socially liberal" (which many people do) I'll give them the benefit of the doubt that they just don't understand how that really works in practice (it *doesn't* work). But if after it's explained to them they *still* claim fiscal conservatism, fuck them.
