    ever notice how often the complaint is “The government is hurting me, and I want it to stop…”?

    No, I haven’t noticed that.

    In fact, that sounds like something Ronald Reagan used to say:

    “The nine most terrifying words in the English language are ‘I’m from the government and I’m here to help.’”

    Reagan wanted to shrink the state too. Maybe you really should direct your advice to the GOP.

      You should talk to more voters then…

      In fact, that sounds like something Ronald Reagan used to say.

      Did you miss like, all of 2019? 2014? Have you spoken to any Black person, and ask them why their parents have to give them the police talk?

      Reagan wanted to shrink the state too. Maybe you really should direct your advice to the GOP.

      Reagan also wanted the German Wall to fall. So, that must mean the removal of the German Wall is evil, right? The autobahn was created by Hitler, so obviously, highways are evil.

      Your fallacy is known as “Poisoning the well”.

        No, what I mean is that Trump and Musk want to shrink the state, right now. In fact that is all they are doing, right now. Did you miss all the executive orders in the past week that are defunding every part of government?

        So if that is your goal too, then you squarely belong inside the MAGA movement. You are diametrically opposed to Democrats, who if anything want to expand the state.
