Can a person say they are fiscally conservative and socially liberal without getting hated on in this new ultra-divisive political landscape?

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.

@EdgeOErin

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.

@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.

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. 😲🤬😖
