ShirashoWhat happened to small government?
I live in probably one of the reddest states, and it’s always been hypocrisy. Republicans are lying out of their lower lie holes every fucking time they open their mouths.
Every single Republican politician and voter is a purely evil person.
I dont know if I’d say evil but they’re definitely uninformed and ignorant.
They’ve been fed nothing but lies and propaganda and taught that the other side is evil, and if they’re religious it’s exactly the same as being in a full on cult with no bearing on reality.
Sure, some of us like myself were smart enough to realize its a massive grift . not everyone has the brainpower.
Politician, sure. But people are easily duped, especially when they’re uneducated. That doesn’t make them evil, especially when there’s a multi-billion dollar disinformation network constantly trying to mislead them.
Very true. Thank you for helping to ground me.
At what point does ignorance cross into willful ignorance? And at what point does willful ignorance become malicious? It’s a blurry line, to be sure.
It crosses into willful ignorance once they reject an empathetic articulation of the information and they become malicious at roughly the same time. Though this is less “becomes” so much as “is revealed to be” i think
WesDym@YiddishMcSquidish I'm not always sure. I think a lot of them really are stupid enough to believe or say contrary things without realizing it.
Yeah.
I’m trying my damnedest to not be completely angry all the time, and comments like this really help. Thanks dude.
The small government means they want the government to not stop them from doing 1 very specific state rights
RememberTheApollo_Small government meant, as usual, the other guys.
Their government can piss away as much money and get as big and invasive as they want.
explodicleIt’s always been imaginary. They think that private property is a natural right, so a government with lots of soldiers and police is small.
The founding fathers loved small government that defended their teensy little slave plantations. They passionately argued about freedom with other rich white men.
Everyone who honestly wants small government eventually realizes that none was ever necessary at all.
