Can a person say they are fiscally conservative and socially liberal without getting hated on in this new ultra-divisive political landscape?
[Asking for a friend]
This always confused me. How would social programs be funded?
@LnzyHou We tend to pull it off in Canada, though, down south, they might still look at our Conservatives as being centrist.
How do you pull it off in Canada? How are you finding social programs without money?
@LnzyHou @EdgeOErin Canada has national health care, that helps. Also the size of the problem is smaller so less money required. That is not to say there are no issues, I am just generalizing.
That’s where I get lost —the generalizations.
I challenged a conservative in my former apartment building as to his solution for the 600+ unhomed he despised in Asheville.
The closest he ever came to a solution was erect a huge circus-type tent where 600 cots would hold the homeless (under lock & key) every night. No booze or drugs allowed. The police would guard the tent access all night.
Imagine the mayhem inside the tent. He said the police would control. 😲🤬😖
@BFBucky1 @LnzyHou True. We tend to absorb and then transform what some might consider problems into opportunities. Obviously, we're so lucky to have the natural resources to be a backstop and funding apparatus.
