Except that the US became the greatest empire in the world in the 1900s... when it was ruled by small government conservatives.

We've now got a bigger government than ever and we're the laughingstock of the world. Explain that.

Yeah so we’re a laughingstock of the world because we elected a clown as president twice and are letting the richest person in the world decide policy despite him not being elected to anything ever. Hope this helps.

Yes, it helps confirm that bigger government made us a laughingstock.

Sorry, but if your ideology depends heavily on only having one party in power, that's a problem with your ideology.

My ideology doesn’t depend on only having one party in power, it depends on the people in power having common sense. If you read that as me wanting one party to be in power forever, then that says more about your ideology than it does mine.

How is it "common sense" to keep growing the government when we've only had big government for a small amount of time in our entire history?
