People have always assumed they could pick between “big government” and “small government”. But that was never the choice on offer. It was always between competent government and incompetent government. https://twitter.com/paulg/status/1248954137699651584

Expected result: “I’ve spent my life advocating for small gov’t and yet the people who espoused this goal have built a huge government that has a knife pointed at my neck. I’ll think hard about how I got duped here.”

Actual result: “I’ll just keep holding the same positions.”
