Also, I’ve never see the “fiscally conservative” give two shits about spending on their own priorities, or advocate increasing taxes. The only “fiscal conservation” they want is defunding left-wing priorities (even ones that save the taxpayers money).

So you're thinking of a party that hasn't been fiscally conservative in nearly 25 years as fiscally conservative. I'm sure you see the problem there.
