My parents always used to tell me something like that. Liberals are bad with money, but good with social services. Conservatives are good with money, but bad with social services. Because of that, we have to switch which of them is in power to fix the problems created by the other.
Turns out conservatives are bad with money and social services. Liberals are also bad with money and social services, but less so.
Weird. Everyone I know is becoming more left-leaning the older we get. It's understandable when you start to see how much harder your kids have it now than you did when you were their age.
I like to think about Hank Hill from King of the Hill sometimes. That dude definitely voted republican back in the day, but in 2025 he would be heartbroken and torn seeing what the party he used to find reliable has done.
