Both Oriana and Samir voted for Argentina’s new leader Javier Milei, the radical right-wing libertarian with extravagant hair and an abrasive style. He came from behind in last year’s election to win more than 55% of the vote.

I’d say let the chickens come home to roost, but well they’re eating them.
I think one of the greatest lies conservatism has sold people is that they, alone, are fiscally responsible. I feel a lot of people have woken up to that notion by now, but it appears it hasn’t stuck with everyone.
Conservatives aren’t “fiscally responsible”, they just don’t want to use money for socialized care, support programs, or for other things that they deem as “unnecessary”, which just so happen to coincide with many of their social objectives. It gives “center-right” voters a comfortable excuse to support more fiscal responsibility, without having to directly say that they support racism, bigotry, and hatred.

In the U.S. they wield “Tax and Spend” against liberals like it’s the ultimate weapon, when in reality that’s just how money works.
Income and expenses. They would rather spend and then shutdown the government instead of paying the bill when it comes due
