And if you’re a woman they want to be in your doctor’s exam room.

Hypocrites all the way down
-
Yeah but they won't be interfering with air quality, food safety, and product safety. So that's good!!? It's good right?
-
It’s who they’ve always been. Less oversight for them while the poor and minorities are surveilled like criminals and controlled like property.

They were always the party of Big Brother while CLAIMING to be the party of small government. That was always a lie. Like being “pro-life.” The GOP is the constantly-meddling party of death.
-
The Republican party is gone in every way but name. This is the Trump White Nationalist Party.
-
They only wanted Democratically run Feds out of our lives.
-
And in our pants 🤦🏻♀️
-
Why surprised? We're in for much worse if we don't stop it. No time to state the obvious.
-
Party of smoke and mirrors
-
The hypocrisy knows no limits.

Don't forget uteruses
-
I guess we misunderstood they want a government that provides no services or infrastructure and want higher taxes so the wealthy don’t pay taxes they want complete control of our destiny.They’ll be giving you a number in public school to designate your lifetime career like field, factory worker 1/2
-
-
They also want the federal government in our pants.
-
It's just like Free Speech to a libertarian: "It's only good when we are talking about MY free speech. And I demand free amplification as well."
-
The GOP didn't want Dems telling them how not treat their employees, how not to run their businesses, and how not to treat minorities.
But the GOP LOVES to tell Dems how we have to live while they do what they want.
-
It's just small enough to drown us in the bathtub.
-
McCaskill is not wrong. I hadn’t thought of it like that. So true.
-
Yes, Dear Clare. This is according to The Trump 180⁰ Rule Book. Where Up is Down, Weak is Strong, Bad is Good, and Autocracy rules.
-
EVERY FUCKING CORNER OF OUR LIVES!
-
Is #MAGA so willfully ignorant that they still think they want this?? Is this what they voted for??
-
It's technically a small government if it's small enough to fit into a uterus and these Grand Ol' Boys have been up in there for a while.
-
That’s because these kinds of authoritarians have been lying the whole time. They want the government out of their lives, but they’ve always wanted it deeply in yours. How else do they keep control?
-
Yeah, it's all fascist fun and games until the fascists themselves find their heads rammed into a cage containing a starving rat. 🐀
-
We put Hitler 2.0 in office.Gonna be crazy.Enjoy the ride.

Brainless wonders. They have no real opinions, they just repeat the last thing they heard, like Trump,

This is so true.

I guess it depends if there is a Democrat in office.

The GOP now stands for Gang Of Pedophiles.

They were never small government

Too bad you don’t have a federation of smaller governments to counterbalance the power of the capital. But what do I know.

Always has been.

Its almost like they took those simple minded people for a ride just to get into power.

Don’t forget bedrooms…

Stuart Stevens wrote a great book on how all those Republican "principles" were just code words and marketing slogans after about 1990.
-
The Bureau of Central Planning

They were only ever the party of small government when it came to the health and safety of American citizens.
-
It's not really any different. It was always small government for the millionaires, heavy handed for the little people. They just never mentioned both of them in the same sentence.
-
In thinking about this, it would seem that republicans wanted a very small government when democrats were in charge, i.e., do not want to be told how to live, but want to be in EVERYONE'S business AND personal lives when THEY are in charge. 🤷♀️
-
It’s actually the party of the Dictator Trump.

Conservatives: (Dismayed) “We’re going to need a bigger bathtub…”

So much for their love of state’s rights too.

Hello all! Please 👇🏻👀.
We really need to start talking about our reality. I have a plan. All peacefull even. I have confirmed it with many. But I can always use help. If any of you have good IT skills it'll come handy when ready. Let's take our nation back! 🔥🗽🔥
-
No offense but Claire mccaskill is a fool. The Rs were never for small govt. They weren’t for one that promotes pluralism and progress. But they've always wanted govt in people's lives, so long as its R-authoritarian/Christian theocracy form of big govt
-
The GOP (Guardians Of Pedophiles) have always flip flopped whichever direction the wind blows.
-
it all makes sense when you realize they had an entirely different interpretation of govt, you could see it developing during the Reagan yrs, compromise was defeat, that even their idea of democracy is different, they want control of all, don’t consider it interference but a means of control
-
It's always projection with these people. The GQP used to warn about the threat of Jack Booted Thugs until they become them. They used to cry about the nanny state and have instead brought us the Nazi state.
-
Same one that talks about freedom as if it’s a limerick tale Yet it’s the constant goon thug personality that live in rural community living
-
It always has been.

More like the party of, "Ohhhh brother!" Amiritebooiiiisssss????
-
In my lifetime the GOP has never been in favor of small government for individuals, only for corporations.

And the perverts are obsessed with vagina’s that do not belong to them.

Maybe all those years they screamed, “small government!” they really didn’t know what that meant. They were just repeating what Fox said. I mean it’s possible because MAGA logic is seriously flawed.
-
it's said even scientology is taking notes
-
It's not a 180, it's only revealing more starkly what was always there
-
It's as if they don't stand for anything other than total control. 🤔
-
They never stood for anything actually- it was always whatever needs to be done to get Rich quick

They are also the party of #LawbreakingAndDisorder ✔️
-
This is why McCaskill and her fellow centrists fail.
They engage with the hypocrisies of the GOP and never realize that conservatives don't believe in equal treatment under the law in the first place.
The GOP was never about small government. It was about them CONTROLLING government.
-
All the former haters of Big Brother now say, "Well, you shouldn't worry if you have nothing to hide!"
-
Republican Party died years ago. What we have now is a zombie dressed in republican skin. The new Republican Party should change its name to the American Fascist Party, same as they are called in Europe.

They’re putting the Government in bedrooms and doctor’s offices. They’re perverted and they’re overreaching.

BECAUSE IT'S A CULT
Whatever Dear Leader says, they obey.
Republicans are weak, cowardly, and obedient to their leader. They have no principles, no spine.
-
They've always wanted that. They just don't want corporate regulation. That's it.
-
Now they want to limit voting, not government!
-
Consistency in their principles was never a strong trait for republicans. Their only consistency has been their desire for money and power.

Let us not forget maga’s plans to prohibit certain rights women should have legally by foisting the government into women’s lives…

Not to mention their obsession with our bedrooms and bathrooms.

Republicans are also the party of protecting pedophiles and child traffickers.

They’re the party of opportunism. That’s all.

yup the way it’s been for a century. they bitch about Democrats trying to move ahead with any excuse the focus groups said would work. then go full fascist when in power

For them small government means enough government to ensure tax breaks for rich and corporations, along with surveillance, snitch lines, and policing to keep everyone else in line while they dismantle health, education, and social services. For them big government means guardrails and fairness.

It is only in blue states and blue cities and communities that Republicans want federal (i.e., far right) control. Which is even worse.
Begs a Q: Why are center-right Republicans and traditional conservatives OK w/this? I get the MAGA right and Christian Nationalists. But old school Rs? Insane.
-
& they’ve formed militia “strike forces” …conservative 2nd amendment gun nuts should be alarmed 😧

So, much for a smaller government and draining the swamp. This is a Tsunami.

They're all RINOs now.

"The Deep State" was always a projection for those who require minority control over us.

GOP represents indecency, dishonor, immorality, lies, greed, and hate.

Always was

They were NEVER for small government.
-
Government = Donald Trump
-
You have an abundance of dunce down there.
We've got a few too making noises I'm sad to hear.
-
Yeah they’re fixing all the mess the Dems left behind. They’re firing all the morons from the Biden horror show. Then, they’ll shrink government. Trump is always on point, don’t even question it you wouldn’t understand what he’s doing. He’s saving America from the crack head party known as the Dems.
-
"Conservatives" & one particular "Conservative" think tank paved the road to destroy the very premise of the United States Government advanced by founders imbued with ideals of the enlightenment. What irony that a movement dubbed "conservative" will destroy convention & stability to wield power.
-
trump never was, nor has he ever been a "conservative", he's only been a republican a little over a decade, but he's always been an opportunist, a narcissist, and sociopath, not to mention his ignorance and stupidity
-
In case anyone wants to upvote and share the original post:
-
They only hate the government when they’re not in charge of it
-
It is called gleichschaltung.
-
Party of small minds
-
left off 'our bedrooms', which is a huge one.
-
GOP has always been the party of big brother when it comes to women and religion.
-
They always were going to do this. They just don’t want the government to help poor people.
-
MAGA voted for this, and they love everyone’s pain and anguish.
-
"SURPRISE: We lied!" "Aagh, curse your slow, unsubtle, and obvious betrayal!"
-
They're putting the federal government in our bedrooms, living room, and even trying to enter our heads by dictating what we learn and read.
-
It always was George. It always was. The GOP has only ever been against big govt that limits the excesses of the wealthy. They have always been for govt overlooking the lives of the common people. To make sure they don't limit the wealthy .... or eat them.
-
They were never really about small gov, they just wanted to get away with whatever shady crap they could and small gov is more likely to facilitate that.
-
They were never the party of small government. That was one of their many smoke screens for being the party of not taxing the rich.
-
the brother has nothing to offer....he is one of those who repeatedly pulls the rug from your achievements to remind you who's in charge. golden castles don't count for shit.
-
Yep
-
“It Was All a Lie” credit to Stuart Stevens for the tip off.
-
They never meant out of your life, it was always just out of the way of big business to do whatever they wanted to you.
-
And Union Station in heavily armored military vehicles that evidently need drip pans.
-
Every single thing they've ever espoused has been a lie, man. The party of family values is cool with pedophiles, the party of law and order will break any law and go through anybody who enforces em to get what they want, the party of freedom from tyranny has embraced tyrants. They're hypocrites.

Not so much an about turn as a complete replacement. They are MAGA, 100%. They are no longer Republican. RIP GOP, hello MAGA. Vile b@st@rds

100%

Upside down world.
-
Being a hypocrite is their MO. The worst
-
I think what's happening has always been the goal, they just had to wait it out till everyone was divided enough to try it.
-
Schools, Restaurants, Home improvement outlets, hospital operating rooms....
-
They still want the Federal Government out of their lives just in everyone else's.
-
The party of small government is now a dictatorship.
-
They were NEVER about 'small government'...they've ALWAYS been intrusive.

-
“ give power back to the states “
UNLESS, the state is blue, has sanctuary cities, or honors the US constitution.

The Dems should be running with this talking point. Slowly losing our freedom and liberty too.
-
Why is the felonious Pres. of the US meeting with a murderous war criminal on US soil who is "wanted by the International Criminal Court in Hague" and who "stole children" (reportedly 20,000 children) and invaded a sovereign peaceful country" resulting in 100,000's deaths including 40,000 civilians?
-
Yeah but it’s their brand of tyranny so they love it. They think they’ve been oppressed all these years by stuff like science and justice and they’re fixing it now.
-
Everything they say is a lie. What is amazing is that their followers are cool with being lied to. They are fine with an abusive relationship.
-
Claire forgot they’re in our bedrooms, hospital rooms, doctor’s offices & our vaginas.

GoP Guardians of Preponderance

The GOP believes more than anything in Wilhoit’s law—there has to be an in group the law protects and does not bind and an out group the law binds but does not protect.
-
Well said. Sad as heck. All their garbage, lies, and they can try to say whatever about socialism, and then about anything really, and nothing’s will compare to what they’re doing.
-
Soon Trump will be setting authorized prices for all goods and services. Taliban-style regulation of women will take effect. All federal male employees ( the only kind) must wear blue suits,red ties,and white shirts. Martial law will be in effect in all blue states. The easy days are gone forever.
-
And our bedrooms, churches and bathrooms.
-
They love daddy

In our doctors' offices.
-
I remember a very smart fella saying "it was all a lie."
-
The RWNJ's haven't even begun.

-
Almost like conservatives were fucking hypocrites from Edmund Burke forward.
-
And it not's just the government trying to run every aspect of life - it's Trump.
Trump, the GOP, and MAGA all see him as some sort of divinely appointed Emperor and everyone exists to serve him.
-
📌
-
Don't forget they want it in our doctor's offices and bedrooms too.
-
Well she's wrong. ' Small government" meant corruption, a government run by a handful of then millionaires for millionaires.
-
Every word out of the mouths of all the gangster owed Republican presidency's since Ronald Regan has have been purposely fraudulent.
-
TBF: they still want gov't to be "small", so small it comprises only their own loyal elite.
-
180? That cursed number
-
And, he is watching you!
-
-
They’ve never done a 180°. They’ve always been that way, and even more so during the felon’s occupations.
-
The Republican party clearly wants to control everything we do
-
Repubs = Nazis
-
Every part of the government that serves the public is gone and all that remains is the Tyranny the Founders wrote the Constitution to defend you from.
The Constitutional Republic has fallen. Now what?
-
And some dummies want a dictatorship. “Keep em dumb!” And the GOP has. 🙄🙄
-
They were never “the party of small government.”
That was a euphemism for “the party of uncontrolled commerce/capitalism.”
-
The party of hypocrites
-
Yes. My so called “libertarian” friends are awfully quiet about this. They pivot to “some policies I agree with”. Please.
-
Yeah but the thing is they were lying then just as they are now. What they want is power and control…of literally everything. That’s the only consistent. They are a collection of people who want what they want when they want it, and if you get screwed in the process, all the better.
-
Today’s right as massive misdirection machine, wildly producing resentments and dumb material culture of domination, masking incredible hypocrisy behind its powers of revenge and enjoyment at surviving others' destruction
