Heres the fun part. They never actually shrink the government. They just cut spending on social programs that improve people’s lives and put the money into the military and the police.

In-groups to protect, outgroups to bind

small government means less taxes and regulations, so small government for corporations. it's still big government for the people though.

meanwhile they say the other side is for big government when that's the side that's against government in your bedroom, government in your doctor's office, government up your genitals, government establishing and dictating religion, government asking papers at every turn, a god-king president being above the law, and on and on...

bullshit terms made by people who want to control you and give their buddies more money.

When taxes are reduced, the reduction rarely exceeds the recent decades' bracket creep.
