Where small government grows. Photo: Mayer Tawfik on Unsplash

You’re small government. You vilify Democrats for being too involved in the daily lives of Americans. That’s been your position for decades.

Now you take choice away from 51% of the Americans in this nation. You’re tiny government. You fight for anti-regulation across most industries. You claim you are these things. You claim that your fight is to protect them. The landmarks of a red, conservative, ideology. Fundamental to it.

You turn around and refuse freedom and liberty to women in the United States? You tell them what you’ll allow them do…with their own bodies.

A woman’s personal choice doesn’t concern you. It is personal. It’s not poisoning society, any community, or a church. Your religion, or your twisted justification to site it, as you bend law under the guise of God and govern over every woman is a duty you embrace. It’s divinely inspired and so you will carve it into law. Whether they follow your religion or otherwise.

If your leaders at church are telling you who to vote for and your politicians are instructing you how, or who, to pray to and worship — besides them — leave immediately.

Who do you think you are, Christian, white, man? Christian, white, woman?

Close to 70% of Americans want women to keep their reproductive rights. That cuts across political affiliation, race, and religion.

Republicans, the minority party in rule, is weeks away (?) from removing abortion protections. Passing legislation that 30% of Americans support. Consider the aforementioned sentence.

A small party can run the United States by standing as a party of obstruction. They don’t actually have ANY policy to run on — or debate.

They run on topics that drive their small minority of Republicans across the nation into frenzied, maniacal, voters. To own “the libs” or whatever. American voters are intelligent, some say.

In the open for everyone to see, the party that loves freedom — the GOP — slowly pulls rights away from Black people, women, Hispanics, Latinos, and those representing LGBTQ+ Americans. Where does the government belong?

Asking you to “be better” is simply a combination of words that probably served as a litmus test of compassion. In times where reason, common sense and kindness still floated aside the politics of this country.

In the GOP, there is no version of “better” in any sense that doesn’t directly empower them as they look to acquire every single Infinity Stone — and wipe out the rights of its citizens, one marginalized group at a time. In plain sight.

Republican voters put these talking heads in power. Voting them in repeatedly. They’re responsible for this too. These politicians can’t elect themselves. Well, just wait a few years…

In the uterus? In the doctor’s office? Does dissolving Roe represent small government?

Where does it make sense for a government to function in this manner? How?
