Your positions are all over the map, and self-contradictory. You even provide several more examples.
You're a "fiscal conservative?" The one who recently declared that a spreadsheet said we could print and borrow money forever?
You don't believe in nationalizing industries? My wife, who works in the health industry, will be glad to hear that.
That's just one paragraph.

"Compromise" is a word that really sounds nice. The only way I've seen it used in Washington is to discuss Republicans moving toward Democratic positions. In the same vein, "reasonable" and "moderate" Republicans are those that support Democratic ideas. It's amazing how much less shit Marco Rubio's been getting from the Left lately.
"New Deal Democrat" sounds a lot nicer than "socialist," too. If you actually look at both viewpoints in detail, you might be able to shove a playing card between them edgewise if you put your back into it.
As far as evolving political movements go, if people who want smaller government and lower taxes are now considered "fascists," I don't think it's my side that's shifted.
You can admire Reagan now because he's safely dead. I watched Democrats try to tear his throat out for eight solid years. The people alive now who believe what Reagan believed are still getting this treatment. Nobody's kidding anyone.
And as for "drooling cretins," you've been happy with Biden a heartbeat away from the presidency for five years. But then as I recall, your theory is that he just pretends to be an idiot to throw people off. Gotta admit, he's good at it.

Both comments just bear out what I said.
