ALL true, but the GOP has given up the “fiscal responsibility” angle. I knew Republicans who were fucking enraged by Bush’s spending and wars. They GOP no longer pretends to be saving our treasury. Sure, they say their policies will eventually enrich us, but they’ve utterly given up saying they’re trying to save money. Maybe I’m splitting hairs, but I clearly remember their scream of “fiscal responsibility!”, and now they are silent.
They haven’t given up the claim when a Democrat is president. When a Dem is in the White House, all we hear about is how it is imperative to cut the deficit at any cost, including government shutdowns.
Then a MAGA takes over and we don’t hear a peep as they expand some major surveillance agency like Homeland Security or ICE or the Space Force.
