It’s always just been a lie they conveniently apply to hurt those they dislike (marginalized people and the poor).
Like how slavery was a small government issue, but now petty crime and protests are a national government issue.
I recall a Reagan era quote about a government small enough to drown in a bathtub but a military big enough to put lasers in space.
That just stupid doublespeak.
Should be “fuck the 99%”.
The “middle class” doesn’t think they are poor so this message will fall flat on them. In fact they might support it, because then they get to kick down on someone.
Even the working-poor conservatives who have to put in 60+ hours a week for minimum wage just to pay for their shitty single-wide have been brainwashed to believe that they’re “prosperous” simply for being white americans, and that being one medical bill away from literal homelessness is actually “patriotism.”
So yeah, the only way we break this infernal spell cast by ancient liches and necromancers is to point at the liches and necromancers hiding behind the curtain. This is populism, this is class consciousness and this is unifying against the actual enemies of our country.
I’m sorry, small government? Where is that happening?
Government is so small it fights inside Americans’ bedrooms. It is often small enough to squeeze directly between the legs.
About the size of an underpants weevil you say?
I am the ideal form of government.
A government just small enough to fit in your bedroom.
What’s needed is to simplify the government to the point that people can actually understand what it does.
It’s overcomplicated, the laws are written in arcane gibberish that nobody really sees through (if you haven’t studied the laws for 20 years at least), there’s bureaucracy hell, things need to be simpler. that does not mean less government, i.e. handouts should still be paid, but it should happen in a predictable, simple way.
That title
That big government is still there giving handouts to corporations. Small gov is accurate.
“But have you tried ‘raise VAT and kill all the poor’?”
You are just exchanging a belly fat government for a ass fat government. They jist store the fat in different places.
