10. They don't want small government.

They say it but the size of government is irrelevant to them. The function of government is important. They want government large enough to enforce American Hegemony abroad and social and economic policies domestically. They have no problem growing the military as large as it needs to be. They have no problem growing police forces. They have no problem with spy programs and growing programs to regulate the behaviors of people they find "unacceptable".

Republican government doesn't work because their policies favor the wealthy and try to impose a hierarchy that does not promote free and equitable society. They use fear, anger, and resentment to motivate people to support their policies.
