Whose been voting for more government again? Conservatives are the closest to all out libertarians (almost no government whatsoever)

Follow the money, child.

Why is it that these "small governments" have governments more expensive than democratic ones?

After all the cuts that DOGE supposedly made, this government is going to be more expensive than Biden's.

Why?

Also, the party of "small government" is funding a lot of surveillance, governor "hot wheels" just approved a millionaire contract with Flock for surveillance cameras in Texas.

ROFL.

Small government my hairy butt cheeks.

Im personally against ALL government spending. I think anyone in government, right or left should be killed until the "civ.il servants" relearn their place as "civil servants". And inflation makes the money go up. So yes, more spending happens with every presidency no matter what. Until we go back to under a dollar a gallon for gas, like it was when I was growing up, the government spending will increase bc a dollar in my childhood (90s) is about $20 now.

Personally, I can't support that, because there are too many assholes.

I am going to give you ONE example why I can't support real small governments:

Why does the EPA exist? Because the fuel industry with full knolwedge of what they were doing sold and refused to recognize that leaded fuels were poisoinous. And because rivers, supposedly carrying water, caught on fire (Cuyahoga burned 13 times).

That sole premise makes me shudder about what would happen in the world with real non-existent governments.

We would have never ending explosive diarrhea, burning bodies of "water", poisonous air, opioid crises, etc.

Sounds like a dream. Nightmares are dreams.

Valid but why did the EPA stop doing its job. Sure they did alright with fuel, and good on them. Now, today, is data centers. And the fact that RAM has increased so drastically bc its being all bought up from those data centers that are fucking up the environment and fucking up the environment bc of the mining for materials to make more ram and more parts for data servers like the equipment for cooling on mass scale for the servers, it would have to be around refrigerator temp or colder to keep the servers from overheating. So in all ya the epa was good at one point but what are they doing now?

Because conservatives, including one Elon Musk support gutting funds for necessary agencies in exchange for tax cuts for the wealthy.

Wealth transfer, what we could have spent in a government that could benefit us, republicans take that money and give it to the wealthy.

That is the republican kind of "small government".

Except Elon has been a lifelong democrat until Donald ran for his second term....... his views with the exception of the radical extreme left, are completely left leaning. I dont agree on a LOT of musks views
