When the GOP speaks of “small government” what they mean is less government employees replaced with more government contractors costing taxpayers more money with less net gain.  It’s a plan to privatize as much as government as possible from education to transportation to infrastructure to research, all on the taxpayer’s dime.. more specifically the taxpayers debt.

It’s a massive scam to capitalize profit and socialize debt.  When you add to that the intolerance of immigrants, the movement to restrict the vote, the efforts to force their version of morality as law, and the control they seek to have over women there is only one word for it.

FASCISM:

often capitalized (profit) : a political philosophy, movement, or regime (as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition

There is absolutely nothing socially or financially conservative about the GOP anymore.  They have become nothing less than radicals.
