My favorite is "socially liberal but economically conservative", like those things are exclusive of each other
"I hate poor people but I also like weed"
I thought it is more like - "I hate taxes, but I don't mind the gays".
"Discriminatory treatment against poor Afro-Americans because of their race is wrong.
Discriminatpry treatment against poor Afro-Americans because of being born into poverty is the right thing to do."
They are the way they mean it. Indivual freedoms such as legal abortions, gay marriage, drug legalization, etc, just not big on a welfare state.
Weed should be legal so I can sell it to the people being crushed by capitalism.
Yeah, it's basically "I'm in favor of a social safety net, but I'm also in favor of starving all social programs of funding" 🤦
"I'm in favour of Freedom as long as it doesn't negativelly impact the priviledges I was born into when I popped-out of the right vagina".
It's the "Fight For Equality" that very purposefully keeps away from the one kind of discrimination of treatment is which bigger than all the others combines by quite the margin: Wealth Discrimination
"My parents are entitled to social security, but I really hate paying taxes"
well no it's different than that, it's more "i don't believe in upholding the previous methods of societal progress, and control. But i prefer our economy stay minimally involved with most things."
i don't think that statement implies that they're mutually exclusive of each other. This has been a long defined standing that people will hold.
