They believe in the social policies of the Democrats and the financial policies of conservatives?

I mean I would ask follow up questions but at face value that would be what they meant no?

The democrats are fiscally conservative. The GOP believes in budget unbalancing tax cuts and are fiscally liberal.

So you're of the opinion that somehow by making five hundred austerity cuts saving two million dollars each the GOP will shave a trillion from the budget? Is Trump going to increase or decrease the deficit in your mind?

I'm not an econ major and I have no fucking clue what is gonna happen with king Cheeto and his goons. I assume any time a politician says they are gonna do something they are probably not going to do that. Maybe half of what they say is true if we are lucky.

I saw we kill em all and start over.

So the person who says what's in the post title is probably just a centrist Democrat. Which explains why they're getting so much hate here.
