No they aren’t and no they don’t. The fiscally-conservative GOP is as real as Santa Claus or Jesus.
Unfortunately today this is a true statement.

22 gets super salty about racist posts about Asians but suckles at the Trump nipple. Weird
Ok so let’s accept your premise. All those factors go into party affiliation and you can’t make statements about the common beliefs and actions of people in a political party.
How many factors go into race and gender and how do you think party is similar to race and gender?
And I did notice you didn’t refer to my evidence nor did you provide any of your own. That’s dismissive and disrespectful. Look up the model minority myth and explain to me how Republicans don’t do that.
I also noticed you did the whole predictable “OMG stop calling me a racist” victim routine. Stop being a snowflake and let someone call your party out on their BS. Have a reasonable discussion like a reasonable person.
If you want to have a reasonable discussion stop calling everyone in an entire political party racist.
First of all, I didn’t call everyone anything. Saying Steph Curry is a good shooter doesn’t mean he hits every shot.
Second, just because you don’t like what I say doesn’t mean it’s wrong.
Third, refusing to even address my point doesn’t help you make your own. Again, this is a well studied phenomenon. You won’t even bother to look it up.
I’ll help you.
'Model Minority' Myth Again Used As A Racial Wedge Between Asians And Blacks
https://www.npr.org/sections/codesw...d-as-a-racial-wedge-between-asians-and-blacks
"Sullivan's comments showcase a classic and tenacious conservative strategy," Janelle Wong, the director of Asian American Studies at the University of Maryland, College Park, said in an email. This strategy, she said, involves "1) ignoring the role that selective recruitment of highly educated Asian immigrants has played in Asian American success followed by 2) making a flawed comparison between Asian Americans and other groups, particularly Black Americans, to argue that racism, including more than two centuries of black enslavement, can be overcome by hard work and strong family values."
Since the end of World War II, many white people have used Asian-Americans and their perceived collective success as a racial wedge. The effect? Minimizing the role racism plays in the persistent struggles of other racial/ethnic minority groups — especially black Americans.

Now scooter, at least respond. “That’s not true” or “I’m not a racist” isn’t an acceptable answer. Find some evidence.

This is unfortunately true for the republicans actually serving in our government - but not among republicans in the wild.

If someone’s been voting Republican for 30 years and considers themselves a reasonable person and then the party takes a huge turn (arguable) into grift and fraud, anti-critical thinking, fiscally irresponsible tax cuts and general idiocy all wrapped up in faux populist policies and delivered by the most vile, ignorant, anti-Christian messenger the party could have possibly picked...
Then wouldn’t that reasonable person stop voting for that party if they don’t support these things?

I don’t support anything the Republican Party does these days, but I desperately want to be called a Republican and will take it as a personal insult when anyone calls out Republicans.
Signed, a sane person.
What's the alternative? I'm not going to run myself. And I sure as fuck aren't going to vote for a Clinton or a socialist.
