Don't confuse conservatism with Republican; they're not the same.



Which is the reason many people on here supported Trump - because he would be "different". If, the next time Trump is sent a budget / CR that continues a lot of deficit spending, he vetoes it and tells Congress to try harder, he will get a lot of respect. Even if they override his veto.

The reality is Trump has a lot more in common with the GOP. Basically, both want to use the government to enrich themselves, their friends, their companies. You can't do that by cutting spending. And to be fair, the Democrats are "worse" but it's pathetic that "we aren't as shitty as the other side" is what passes for success these days.

Agree but there are Dems in office today that relate more to the GOP than the Dem party; they won't admit it tho
