    yeah. though “fiscally conservative” is a myth in two senses. first, those people are usually the ones who have the worst policies for the economy. second, fiscal conservatism can’t be decoupled from social conservatism. that’s the bigger myth. the fact that you can be socially progressive but economically conservative. those policies inevitably result in social hierarchies at best, and oppression at worst.
