    Repubs are always for small gummint. Except when it comes to your bedroom. Or your doctor’s office. Or your library. Or your kids’ school. Or college campuses. Or cities. Or weed. Or social media. Or driving up the national debt. Or election interference.

      Conservatism has always been a lie; even Abraham Lincoln called out their bullshit before he was president.

      It’s simply a way to entrench their privilege by hook or by crook, usually by appropriating and corrupting the left’s language of liberation. They recast themselves as the ragtag oppressed freedom fighters when all they want is cultural and economic domination of the people they hate most: their fellow citizens.

      It’s always been about using the government against those they consider The Other. They don’t want a small government; that’s a laughable notion.
