Have you been paying attention since 2010? That is exactly what is happening. Republicans break government, say government is broken, then win elections with votes from people who are harmed by government disfunction.

That's been the case since long before 2010, and democrats still manage to win elections, so I don't think your theory holds outside of certain areas of the country that likely have other systemic reasons for republicans being elected.

Besides which, I can't say we aren't getting what we deserve.
