Conservatives don’t care about small government.
I see this often from (presumably) liberals.
I came from a conservative family and held conservative / libertarian beliefs most of my life. These people really, really do want small government. Saying that they don’t makes it impossible to understand their motives – and we really do have to understand where people are coming from.
To complain that their political leaders sell out those ideals for the sake of buying votes is fair, but only if you admit that same set of perverse incentives is not unique to any party.
They both make propositions that could be true or false. They are not non-overlappping.
The whole idea of “personal truth” must become socially unacceptable.
It’s government control which MAGAS equate with “commie”
Ya gotta meet people where they are
It’s smart messaging
Trump is Statist, which is something loathed by both conservatives and libertarians
The root of the problem is faith ; in other words, belief without evidence
That is the root of the problem.
All of us need to understand beliefs as being on a scale that never gets all the way to 0% nor to 100%
All our beliefs have priors, based on the evidence so far, which then get updated as we take in new evidence. This is how scientists and modern philosophers are trained to think.
This is what needs to displace faith.
The religious are a threat in direct proportion to how much they actually believe their ignorant and credulous horseshit, and which specific flavor of horseshit they credulously believe.
As has been pointed out, radical Jains are not much of a concern. Radical monotheists who believe in both an Afterlife and a Judgement Day – are a direct threat to civilization in much the same way that racists are.
Anyone with religious beliefs is a threat to society.
That wasn’t always the case.
But now we have an urgent requirement for people to distinguish fact from fiction. Faith is exactly the opposite of what human civilization requires

Not 4chan? Of course not the Watkins family ❤️Trump
Anyone who proudly declares that they believe fantastical things on no credible evidence AND have a Sky Daddy…
Has no place as a “leader” in civilized society.
And sure the fuck doesn’t get to claim being a person of “reason”
