I’ll tip my hat to the new Constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then I’ll get on my knees and pray
We don’t get fooled again
Yeah
Meet the new boss
Same as the old boss
“small government”
As long as you’re a Cis white Christian male that didn’t go to college
Except the “Small government” is even bigger. The only difference is that all the money gets handed to oligarchs. The Republicans have never reduced spending while in power.
This kind of shit is why the right keeps winning. Even the people that oppose them buy into their framing and repeat their lies and propaganda.
Fucking TSA, 2 decade long wars… Republicans have NEVER reduced spending or increased liberties. It’s all bullshit, but their propaganda machine is simply miles ahead because they have almost zero infighting.
Democrats are constantly bickering, and not about just important stuff. I fully believe there are bad actors purposefully starting arguments about BS they know Democrats will latch on and distract us. And as a bonus make us look like lunatics to anyone not already fully aligned with our ideas.
Building giant walls, deporting people en masse, surveillance society, making sure women’s rights are held at bay, placing and enforcing restrictions on clean energy - all things that sound “small government”? As dumb as they are, I don’t think I’ve even heard the Republicans using this phrase lately - it’s so ridiculous.
They increase spending on really stupid shit that have no legs but will absolutely gut useful services. People aren’t wrong to be mad when they see their stuff get defunded and that’s the important stuff many are going to focus on. So you’re right but it’s not as simple as that.
Small gov’t is usually a lie anyway. It’s a smokescreen for “actually we’re still going to tell you what to do.”
They strip away everything that actually helps people, so in that way it’s really small.
So small it’ll fit in your vagina.
It’s small because they have zero oversight and they only need to worry about one party. Hurray!
Republicans want tyranny, not small government.
Government so small it fits not only within your bedroom, but within your uterus!
The smallest government is a dictatorship.
Small dick tater
Me when “small government” supporters don’t start by defunding the police
Fuck the poor, fuck the old, fuck the environment, fuck soldiers and veterans, fuck the sick, fuck food safety…
Pick up my guitar and play
Surely small Government means repealing all that red tape enforcing individual property rights too?
Updoots for use of “go on, get!”.
There’s a new improved version being pushed now which introduces itself by saying “fuck everyone except the incredibly wealthy”.
