"Smaller Government" is fascist dog whistle...

[Triana]

21. I've often pointed out their hypocrisy re: "small government"

Small enough to stick its nose into people's bedrooms
Small enough to ram up women's vaginas
Small enough to amass the largest and most expensive military in the world and for...what?
Small enough to keep the largest percentage of the nation's population (larger than the percentage of any other nation) imprisoned for minor offenses?
Small enough to dictate who people can marry?

Yes...they love big government - THEIR FORM of it. The big government that rapes women, imprisons people needlessly, has the most vicious and expensive killing apparatus and equipment in the world, that hates people and punishes them economically and discriminates against them based on sex, race, sexual preference. That's REPUBLICAN big government.

But government that HELPS people? That helps them when they're down and trying to survive? That levels the playing field economically so that everyone can have a decent life? That allows people to have decent healthcare that's accessible and affordable? That protects the populace from greedy, parasitic corporations that steal their money, choices, destroy the planet they live on and destroy their health with flawed, dangerous products? That delivers mail and packages on time and affordably? That helps women and children? That provides for good education for EVERYONE? They HATE that.

So yea it is about ideology, to some degree.

But people shouldn't buy into their corprat codespeak that "big government is a problem". It's not -- when it's controlled by and operates for THE PEOPLE and NOT for corprat entities and uber rich assholes whose sole purpose of existence is to serve the bottom line and profit/get wealthier at ANY COST to everyone else (corprat entities that, if they WERE actually people would be called "psychopaths&quot .
