Can anyone explain how this waste of taxpayer dollars is "conservative"?

[-] Zachariah@lemmy.world 18 points 3 months ago

Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.

The American definition of conservative and liberal stopped following fiscal policies decades ago, with both major parties. It only refers to some social aspects now, and even that's a stretch at times.

Indeed; it was more or less a rhetorical question.

Not sure it is sadly. A lot of people still think that those descriptors apply... In large part because of the media's complicity in spreading any falsehood they're fed in exchange for maximum revenue.
