Big government is bad.

Unless there is a book, drug, or out-group we can use big government to control.

Yes, big government is bad! Unless it’s federal deposit insurance and bank bailouts. Or the space program. Or the interstate highway system. Or a universal social safety net. Or food and drug standards preventing adulterated foods and fake medicines from killing people. Or a strong national military defense. Or… well the list goes on.
