[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hey, what happened to this concept? It used to be their entire identity. Government should be small. It should have very little effect and influence on our daily lives. But now, republicans want the federal government to be as big and overreaching as possible. They cannot get enough of federal government. Nothing seems to be off limits. Things that should not be political in any way are at the forefront of everything. Just to name a few…

Abortion 
Pronouns
Gender-affirming care
Gay marriage 
DEI at private companies
Social studies curriculum 
Religion 
Books

These are all things that should simply be our own choices or up to the states. We don’t have to agree on all of these. But forcing others, through federal laws and policy, to follow your beliefs and values is not small government. It’s quite the opposite. The whole “woke” agenda is basically just advocating for small government so that people can make their own choices.

There are other and more appropriate ways to advocate for your beliefs. All of the things I listed above…you are free to speak out for/against. But there are many other ways to do so that are more appropriate and less lazy…

Counsel pregnant teens through your church. Educate them on their non-abortion options.

Recruit new Christians by inviting your neighbors to your church’s ice cream social, for starters.

If your local library has drag queen story hour and you don’t like that, stop going there. Write them a letter or call to express your views.

Don’t go to book stores that carry books that offend you, and let them know what/why you are boycotting.

Open your kid’s backpack and read their teacher’s newsletter to find out what is actually being taught. Have a conversation with your kid. If you have questions about what was taught, set up a meeting with the teacher to discuss.

I could do a whole other thread on rights republicans are taking away (free speech).

I would love to hear from some republicans. Why should any of these things be political? How do you justify it?  As a party, have you officially changed your stance on small government? What’s going on here?

The above has been what they truly believed in for a very long time.  Small government and fiscal responsibility was the schtick they used to get folks to vote for them.  However as social media and 24/7 News cycles became more prevalent it got harder and harder to hide their misdeeds, and so the light shone brighter in their hypocrisy.  Then Obama was elected and it became very clear that they didn’t care about the people nearly as much as they claimed.[/quote]
