I assume their answer would be some sort of afactual "it's because we're wasting all our money on illegals and gay libraries!"

When my mother talks about politics she's not really interested in facts, policies, studies, or evidence. She's speaking from an emotional perspective. It's why topics and goalposts shift so easily in discussions with that kind of person. It's like trying to follow dream logic. It makes sense to the person in it, but from the outside you're left wondering why the chickens needed new gloves. They don't even have hands.
