With record spending by the Republican controlled federal government last year, who IS a conservative?

I believe a large part of that was due to the Baby Boomers getting older, and thus into their more productive years. The first baby boomers turned 38 in 1984, and the youngest were 20 in 1984. This meant a much more productive work force than we had in the 1970's under Carter.

The oldest finished high school in 1964 which means they came from a much higher percentage of 2 parent families than the following generations.

The ones who voted against increasing spending. That is the litmus test.

The area I live in was instrumental in delivering Pennsylvania to Trump. Obama won here easily in 2008 and 2012. Trump won by flipping Obama voters, if you wish to refer to them as the KKK I encourage you to do that.

What are their names? You "conservatives" should rally behind them instead of Trump. He signed the massive spending increase into law.

Besides Russia and China, who is manufacturing space vehicles suitable for humans. Nobody.

Meanwhile Trump chose to manufacture his items in China despite dozens of suitable manufacturers in the USA. That's because Trump is in bed with America's enemies.
