This is an old Republican practice.
It is called the Two Santa Claus Theory.

my dad put our family in deep debt when he moved us from the failing schools and rising crime in the city and bought a house in an affluent suburb.... because of this, my siblings and I benefited from safe streets, a supportive community and schools with a 98% graduation rate.. we all went on to college and successful careers...

your dad put your family in deep debt to by an Escalade, take cruises to St. Martin and make sure you had every electronic doo-dad your little heart desired....

why are you mad that I don't blame my dad for leaving your family in deep debt with nothing tangible in life?

CALLER: Republicans can nominate a young, potentially two-term president, one that believes in fiscal conservatism. We’re gonna have-- In 2019, there’s gonna be a $1 trillion dollar deficit. Trump doesn’t really care about that. He’s not really a fiscal conservative. We don't, we have to acknowledge that Trump has been cruelly used.

RUSH LIMBAUGH (HOST): Nobody is a fiscal conservative anymore. All this talk about concern for the deficit and the budget has been bogus for as long as it’s been around.

Even their knob-goblins don't pretend to care anymore.

For the same reason that Democrats complain about things when there is a Republican president but not when there is a Democratic president.

Because the people who choose sides in this tribal system are complete retards and lack the capacity to think for themselves. Too many people only care if their side won, not what is being done or if it is beneficial, just whether THEIR side won.
