RE: Trump didn't none of the things you're talking about.

To be fair - Bernie Sanders and others on the left (Bernie is independent) have noted that the Democrats do this to themselves - the fact that they can't convince people in the middle class and lower class not to vote for them (and against their own self-interest) is pretty telling.

The rich tend to be conservative - lower taxes means more money in their pockets) and not being given to the poor (who are all lazy in their worldview). You are going to have a tough time convincing people with money to give more of it away. Especially when in fact there ARE lazy pricks out there mooching off the system.

I see it as a teacher. Kid is pretty bright but does nothing because he has millionaire parents - he fails all his exams. Shows up to school with a new smartphone every 3 months. They live in government-subsidized housing which is really inexpensive - so the family can buy expensive clothes and phones and cars.

So it pisses people off like me who have to work hard to get a degree and has no wealthy support to help me do it largely on my own.

So I kind of understand the fiscal conservative stance on this kind of thing. They want people to take responsibility for themselves. Albeit I am not sure why they are always happy to give money to billionaires without making them pay it back or why they said nothing when Trump gave $6 trillion to bail out the Stock market in May 2020. It seems to me to be socialism for the wealthy class and rugged individualism for the poor. They'll raise the debt ceiling three times under Trump but moan about it for Biden. Granted that's politics. 7 banks failed under Trump his overturning Obama policy caused it but crickets. Adding 14 of all US National debt was incurred in just 4 years of Trump - crickets. Good with the financials just has never been true.
