"Small government" was always code for "i'm sad we lost the Civil War, and I want a Confederate/Robber Baron Emperor"

One thing about this era is that when they lose power--and they will--the only proper answer to all those Old School Conservative Talking Points will be to laugh in their faces for eternity. This is now and forever will be who they are. The Trump Dictator Party.

MAGA to English Dictionary: "Small Government"="Lots of Government that works for me and for things I deem important and not one cent for anything other than the things I approve of personally."

they don't like government because government services used & paid for by the people is just a waste of an opportunity that they could privatize & be making profits off of The waste & fraud they promised they would uncover within our government was nothing more than infiltration

You are right, the Constitutional and political battles we fight today are a continuation of the racial-power issues from the very beginning of the US - domination and suppression of anyone who is not white.

STFU Donny! @rebelrob54.bsky.social

Dude! Yes! As a southerner you hear all that lost cause/states rights bullshit. So the irony that these dipshits took in a Yankee carpetbagger/robber baron/child fucker, ain't lost on me. The CSA didn't lose, they took a time out.
