The policies they implement??????

Bro. The Iraq war happened. John Boehner is speaker of the house right now, they're in a huge budget standoff over slashing domestic spending (while ignoring military spending and entitlements).

Hence, "the modern conservative movement is about nationalistic military stances and cutting domestic spending". This isn't really a hard statement to substantiate.




Ehh, let's be real. Republicans spend just as much domestically as Democrats, they just favor different industries and utilize different accounting scams.

We effectively have a one-party system in the US.
