You know what the biggest irony is? That even if that meme was real but that one guy was actually getting elected it will still be more democratic than the EU.
Outstanding analysis, as always
We are dealing with mental midgets though, Vee, that's a big part of the issue.
Germans love two things: insurances and bureaucracy.
They'll bend over for Big Daddy Government so fast, their chin will hit their knees.
If the creator of that meme is German, it wouldn't surprise me in the least; they're not fighting to have *less* government, they're arguing about whose party gets to hold the whip.
And before there's any the whining and the crying and the gnashing of the teeth: I'm an ex-pat German.
For a leftists, becoming an unelected beaurcrat is the ultimate dream job.
also known as "being appointed as commissar"
Yh pretty much
Literally. There was a video where they interviewed leftist/young communists in Berkeley/Portland, and then some text thread on Reddit covering the same suject, asking what they'd do for work after the communist revolution.
They all wabted to be Kommisars or Buearocrats.
No one wanted to be a factory worker.
Undeserved unchecked power. Yea, that sounds like a leftist dream.
Not just an unelected bureaucrat, but one with the power of a king. They want the bottom right example for themselves as an unelected bureaucrat.
The meme is so funny. So the gov is scary with just 3 ppl in gov? When the right talk about smaller gov, they are not referring to representatives, but bureaucrats
I mean, I want fewer representatives in most instances too. Constitution and SCOTUS, disband the legislature, the only time we elect someone is when a President or SCOTUS member steps down, then we elect representatives to choose a replacement of the latter and we elect the former on a local electoral college level.
To be fair, in a government where only 1 person makes all the decisions with only 1 legislation changes happen much faster. But because this "meme" is so stupid since the author inherently doesn't understand the subject it becomes funny. 🤣
To be fair, they also talk about fewer representatives. Looking at germany in the last 20 years the seats increased from 600 to 730. All of them eligible to a lifelong pension and other goodies...
@@Aderla22I'd be Ok with more representatives if they had 1-year terms and lived like monks and nuns
@@Aderla22 that was a lot, no matter how big the population is the USA size is even a little too big, they will take a long time to agreement with that many egos, and because of you are republic you already have a lot of local self governance, 730 trying to find a compromise that must have been easy and smooth governance 😂 only good thing is that often politicians make things worse so if they are spending time on arguing instead of more problems for the population more often than not it’s a good thing 😂
I'd love to ask the person who made the meme, where have they ever seen a dictatorship that was small, and didn't involve a big enough army actively acting on dissenters and a bajillion gov officials managing, supervising and inspecting all the state's monopolies.
This deserves to be pinned.
And don't forget the secret police and the snitch and spy networks.
@@chadmagnus5850 Like Facebook's 40,000 fact checkers? Or the tens of thousands of newly-unemployed DEI Kommisars?
They know, and they're seething that thier army of informants and snitches is being rooted out.
Almost every dictatorship is built upon a giant pyramid of power.
There’s a guy at the top, but he’s the one lending you his some of his power so you can go to a small village and simply order “Yes everyone left handed, to the camps.”
@Snakedude4life Other way around. He has the power he has at the top of the pyramid because of all the layers that are beneath him on the pyramid.
Without all of those layers under him, there'd be no power for him to loan.

Yes.

the government shouldn't exist at all, but if it has to, then it should be controlled absolutely by one person, and that power should be hereditary

*blackmailed unelected bureaucrat
Big part of French Absolutism was the centralized state bureaucracy. In fact the entire word comes from a French term for a type of desk, and supposedly at one point referred specifically to a certain room in the royal palace, where a master ledger or something similar, was kept.
Holy crap, a leftist meme that isn't a wall of text! Oh no, they're learning.
Don't worry, they won't be getting anywhere close to making sense anytime soon
Don't worry. The momeny they get told how this meme is wrong, they will ad a wall of text, to explain how the king would have a army of Merch's, or something similar.
It's evolving
Now you can tell in a few seconds just how stupid they are! Incredible!
Maybe next they'll try *thinking*
I remember a short novel I had to read in elementary school, about why bloat and bureaucracy was bad for society.
In the story, a wooden bench was corroding away in a street and a complaint was issued by a citizen. The novel then described how the complaint went through the system all the way to the top, for a minister's hand signature, then for the paperwork to go to the branches of the system to have the low grunt worker go out and replace the bench that, since the complaint was filed, has rotter away completely and the street where the bench was, would be removed and a new government office building would be built in it's place. The low grunt workers didn't care, they replaced the bench anyway, because otherwise they wouldn't get paid. The construction workers, who were there to start their work filed a new complaint about the bench, and by the time the paperwork arrived to the minister, that the bench was in place and the construction workers were complaining, the new bench started to corrode away and no other work got done, but all the government workers and the minister got their pay.
Which short story was this?
sounds like france lol
Horrifyingly accurate
Sounds like a real story, but has definitely happened with HOAs or trees.
@@117johnpar In many countries, here in Eastern Europe, you are not allowed to fix things as a citizen, that would be the government's job. The official reason for this is "The government and it's institutions exist, to fix problems, so you don't have to". However, because of this, the government gained monopoly on these things, like fixing the road. But if the government doesn't have the budget to fix the road, you are not allowed to fix it, because you are taking away the jobs of the government workers, you make them look bad and it makes you independent of the government. And the government hates independence form the government, because they get scared the citizen might think they don't need a government.
A bloated, bureaucratic government always finds the money for their own workers and politicians, but might never find the money to fix that pothole, that broke your car's wheel.
"You don't like big government? Then you MUST want the smallest government possible!"
Fallacious.
Well to me, yes. But a dictator is not a small government.
@@liubei3058and isn’t congress the legislative branch of government how are Trump supposed make them fire themselves 😂 he doesn’t make laws and it would take constitutional amendment to change, less bureaucracy, taxes, less laws, less regulation, less government influence over citizens lives is what it means.
@ Isn't it interesting how you took everything totally out of context, inserted your own, and now you're expecting me to make defense of an argument I never made?
'Small government' doesn't mean fewer representatives. It means fewer laws, regulations, taxes, and bureaucrats.
"I want small government" = "leave me alone"
Absolutists don't comprehend balance.
They do not realize... the smaller the governament, the easier to depose.
If the governament gets too bloated, you'll never be able to get rid of all bad apples. Or maybe they do realize and are scared about it.
Indeed. We’re in the mess we’re in because kings ended up being pretty easy to get rid of. Imagine trying to get rid of the republic? It’s a monster.
@@francestaylor9156 a leviathan, if you will.
Sounds like a tree of liberty with little need for constant watering. A real utopia. Fear the people.
Leftists want to be a part of the bloated bureaucracy, so that they can get a free ride off the backs of tax payers, while forcing everyone to conform to their views.
"All in the State, nothing outside the State, nothing against the State" - Benito Mussolini creator of fascism. If you believe that more power in the hands of the State is better, you are a fascist.
Great
You should go for Marxist/Socialist/Communist comparisons instead, who centralized power to oligarchs and were 100x worse than fascists.
But everything is political. So that should mean everything is within the jurisdiction of the state.
Only a state in total control of everything can prevent the scary fascists from taking over.
@@mitchryan257 They are all literally the same thing. The only difference between them is the terminology and the excuse offered for control.

Yeah even Monarchies have lower level aristocrats and assistants for logistics if nothing else Fuedalism still had it's share of beuracracy no matter what Neomonarchists like to pretend otherwise

@@GodOfOrphans Yeah, I don't get why people want monarchies or want it to return, it is just as worse as communism just more about royal inheritance then such, communism and monarchy are both the same in ways, so yeah
@@bradwhite5884 No it's not. It's much easier to go after a single person (The king) when he effs up and impossible to hold anyone responsible in a democracy because they can keep playing the blame game until they die and you wouldn't be able to do anything about it.
I'd rather a king in my country than 5 wealthy individuals who rule the world telling me what to do...
This is an example of the concentration of power, not the reduction of govt.
Which is really kind of the point. That's what the left sees. The guy supersedes congress power of the purse on tariffs (congress foolishly surrendered that one power to the president in the 70s.) He even is even trying to repeal the 14th amendment to the constitution via executive order. So... it looks like the goal is concentration of power, not less power overall.
It's cute how they think kings didn't have large governments. Makes me wanna pat their derpy heads and call them precious. 🙄
Kings did infact have small governements, beurocracy expanded during the shift to democracy and was opposed by the Conservatives and aristocrats.
Some of the smallest governements in history (not just compared to modern times but compared to their contemporaries were monarchies). Monarchies could also have big governements, some of the largest relative to their times were monarchies.
Their misunderstanding is not about the size of government but what is meant by size, they seem to only think it's about representatives when it's about the entire thing. A small governement has a small army. And if a monarch rules successfully with a small army relative to his nation then he is probably a good government.
Next level trolling right there. This is on par with "your body, my choice".
Which they suddenly didn't care about when they tried to force mandate the jab.
@@zerrodefex typical rapey leftists. they give women the illusion of freedom only to then abuse it and gladly dropkick the pregnant woman just to get what they want out of them (usually submission, not even for money)
They are such children. "Smaller" means LESS INFLUENTIAL, not literally smaller in numbers ffs
They're always like that. When you complain about illegal immigration they will infer that that means "closing the borders", which in their minds means "stopping all international traffic and trade". That's not what was said at all, but now they'll run with it...
To a degree, smaller in numbers too as there would be less bureaucrats.
No, it definitely ALSO means smaller in numbers. Because numbers cost MONEY.
Less influence AND less numbers
It can mean both
Imagine being a dictator with 2 guards, it's impossible. You would just be overrun
Monarchies were never just the king... the King had a council. If they wanted to do monarch thing stop at 3rd image. Also the second image just removes people not change the seating at all which is weird.
Yep, and we had more rights, freedom and paid less taxes.
I guess those two bodyguards are enough to enforce the king's will on hundreds of millions of people.
That means it must be a well-loved government.

You're half-right. They're dumb, certainly, but they're _also_ malicious.
Even if they misunderstand the topic at hand, it's on purpose; wilful ignorance in order to create a strawman out of your opponents. It's the dumb "playing dumb" to excuse being evil.
@@ArmameteusIts not their stupidity. Its not their malice. Its not them playing dumb when caught. No its not all that, because their still pretty dumb. No its the fact that after its all said and done, laid bare for all to see, they STILL gaslight, and people STILL believe them.
The leftists want to be told what to do and how to live. This is why they like the bureaucracy. If the monarch did the same for them they would love it.
Bureaucracy also negatively effects capitalism so it's a win win for the Left. The amount of hoops to jump through and red tape to do any business is insane. Sure some things have been done for safety but safety standards are written for the guy who would shove a hand into a wood chipper or would eat a product called nuts when they are allergic to nuts.
No, they want to be the ones _telling you_ what to do and how to live, while they get total freedom to do and live however they want. That's what their true goal is. They want to be part of the system that controls you. That's why they like bureaucracy - they aspire to be part of it and use its power to subjugate everyone under them, as untouchable dictators.
You're thinking too small. They want to be able to tell everyone else what to do. However, they understand that a smaller system (in this example of what they think is a smaller govt) would induce more competition against more competent individuals which would naturally kick them out of positions of powers. So a big govt that includes everyone's opinion and remove agency from the individual makes their own voice and will to power that much more dynamic is prefered.
At the same time, of course, a small govt in the way people actually mean-ie a less influential one-is just as much a nightmare because it puts agency back in the hands of the people. It's the same problem of competition but one stage down.
Literally “tell me you don’t know how shit works without telling me you don’t know how shit works”
They already told you by being leftists.
You can't reason people out of a position that they didn't reason themselves in to.
Less bureaucracy also equates to better representation of _elected_ members and their constituents by removing power from un-elected officials.
Ok here's a question. Your congress passes a law. "everyone owes the government $50 a year." Now... how do they enforce it? It's almost like... the bureaucracy are their hands and fingers reaching into your pocket or something.
@@colonel__klink7548 That's not the bureaucracy I'm referring to though, I'm talking about the administration of departments making rules of their own and who act on their own making departmental changes without proper govt oversight, which is where the vast majority of the bloat comes in. The culture of budget splurging has also become a lot more common place, even in the private sector.
@@OptimalToast The reality is that the bureaucracy has shrunk in size by 25% (as a bureaucrats per capita basis) since 79 and it costs only roughly 4% of the federal budget. The "bloat" is ultimately... the government outsourcing tasks to contractors like... Elon Musk who became the world's richest man off the largesse of the US and European governments.
It gets worse actually... If your local government hires a garbage man itself the garbage man takes the wages and buys a house and spends money in local shops. If they contract out to a garbage company your tax dollars go to a garbage man who is paid less, and the owners of that contracting company get the difference. They spend the difference on buying a house they don't need and flipping it for rent. This is the difference between "money", something we spend on personal needs and "capital" which is surplus money from a business enterprise that is used to invest in more capital. Over a significant period of time housing prices go up so the contracted garbage men or you for that matter can't afford a house and the worst part is that the state of affairs is created by the tax dollars you paid.
Now part of the problem with bureaucracy doing it's own rulings is... Congress is not very active in it. We can't get congress to even pass a budget anymore. So... how do you expect congress to oversee it's enforcement arms? this is a failure of our elected officials, not the staff that follows their orders.
@@OptimalToast Just to clarify a bit further. Government employees are 4% of budget thereabouts. Men like Elon Musk account for 14% of the federal budget. The richest man in the world, who got there through subsidies to his car company, grants and contracts to his space company is *NOT* interested in the government spending less on him. So maybe he doesn't want it to spend money on you.
bureaucracy strangles democracy
how so? you need bureucracy to enable democracy
Bureaucracy is logical conclusion of democracy.
When the modern-day Eunuchs are the ones actually in power, "bureaucracy" is indeed the word.
Two wolves and a lamb voting for dinner.
Do they really not comprehend that a monarch can still have a large government?
Correct.
Corporations are run like monarchies so the meme can be taken seriously.
Private companies are run like monarchies. Publicly traded companies are democracies. That's why you get HR running amok in them.
@@MrAnihillator CEOs are arch-burocrats. Public traded companise are abominations.
They're just mad they're not on the throne.
It's a pretty good throne 8/10 Throne scale
Exactly. If the govt shrinks in the way they think smaller govt means, the competition for a position of power increases and they lose automatically to competent people.
Thing is, it's the same result if govt shrinks in the way we understand smaller govt to be. Because that increases the agency of the people and they still lose.
The point of big govt government is make their voice heard while removing the dynamics of the individual, a combination that better suits their own will to power.
The first panel looks like the Chinese government, which is super democratic (but there's only one party).
So democratic that if you disagree with Xi, you disappear.
They really don't get it. Smaller government means the government having less power and authority.
Yes, there is a lack of understanding what is a Gouverment and what is a Parliament.
You can always be Britain: an overreaching nanny state and a king. Why limit yourself?
Big government with too many responsibilities is by definition not democratic. Too many issues to vote on and institutions which cannot be changed by voting cannot be democratic as the bureaucracy rules the citizens instead of vice Versa.

Democracy is not voting or elections. You don't call an aristocratic republic like Rome a democracy, if yes, then I guess the word doesn't mean much.
My point about not all republics are democracise are about this. Election itself don't mean democracy, because democracy have more prerequisites. if only the population 1% can vote, is a democracy? Again, if the answer yes, then the word itself don't mean much.
Democracy is the rule of the people. In this sense if the things happens thet the peoples wants it is a democracy even if you don't have elections. Elections are a specific methods used in modern representative republics to achive the goal of democracy, but the elections itself are not neccesiry. You had popular movments in the 20th century where the spirit of the movements were democratic in nature. Communism or nazism are both democratic in the sense thet both claim thet they represent the will of the people and they legitimise their's power based upon this ideal. They not ruled because God or virtue, but because they were the manifestations of the will of the people.
Democracy is more a spirit of the age and a way to legitimise power. In this I follow Tocqueville's analisis.

The idea that if you move towards smaller government you eventually end up in extremely centralized dictatorship is probably the most ridiculous argument I've ever heard.... right after the Marxist belief which states that if you centralize power enough to the government you eventually end up in utopia without one.
So if some positions are removed, and their power is then consolidated into remaining positions, you realize that's no reduction in the power (size) of the government, right? That just means the power is wielded by someone that will less likely be held accountable.

3rd picture: depicts the backroom/oligarchy/swamp going on in every department (CIA/FBI/ETC.) and sometimes even in the executive branch
4th picture: That is literally what the executive branch is...limited by the two other branches. That's why you have 3 of them and not One like in Cuba or South American failed democracies.
For the 2nd picture we need to end the stupid loophole thing congress can do which is go "Yes everyone is here." when it's one guy signing the sign in sheet for the whole class while everyone else is out skipping the class. It's so dumb, if they don't want to work then retire.
Cuba was not a democracy.
Man, maybe in 10 years the left will be able to meme as well as the right in 2016.
Even in a medieval government there were local officials at every level. So it's not like it would even shrink to one man.
They need felt the need to regulate the length of candles or have 10 different 3 letter agencies looking into the same thing.
And the local people were usually the ones the people felt more. The King might say X, but the local mayor says Y or worse, X and Y. Most people then never knew who the king was nor cared. Everyone knows who is in the Federal Government.
@rh906 yeah as far as they were concerned the local Barron was the government and the king was more like a higher international power that could be called on if he's a problem, if you can reach him.
The worst part is, that those agencies don't even really cooperate with each other, so you have to give the same into to 10 different institutions.
I don't these people ever play chess considering the pieces that accompany the King on the board. Without those pieces a King is nothing.
@@rh906 people would know the name of the king, because that's how the years were counted. But "the mountains are high, and the emperor is far away."
wow. every emperor or king that ever lived would look at this and face-palm. if governments were that small, the state would have to be the size of my flat, for them to be effective.
still not small enough
The meme leaves out that every one useless office job was replace with 1000 soldiers in the last image.
The meme is basically Democracy: the god that failed
So it’s unintentionally based
Now take into account that monarchy failed so bad they had to switch it with democracy almost everywhere.
@@danix8538Now we have it to where government is rented and no one in power is ever responsible for what happens. While getting massive amounts of bloat in the government. While still fighting to spread democracy all around the world. Then we have to deal with people who defend democracy like it’s a person.
What an improvement.
@@danix8538 monarchy lasted thousands of years until they were overthrown.
democracy is already dying within a few centuries
@@danix8538Thats not an argument. In fact thats one of the main arguments against democracy. " Overthrowing a monarchy is easy, good luck overthrowing a Republic". Yeah well ANY government system can be tyrannical and evil. And now we have one that cant be reformed and cant be overthrown.
@@thefool8224 By what standards has Democracy failed?
A smaller government under a Democracy would be better, so we know who to kick out if they do poorly. If the guy turns it into a monarch, then we fight for Democracy.
listen they are not stupid.......they are projecting.
Spot on.
2 things can be true at once.
So if I want smaller government I'll be living in a monarchy? Well that's a sacrifice I am willing to make.
I don’t understand why so many Europeans here support this, what happens when the monarch doesn’t share your values and ideas?
@@Egg_of_the_King I don’t understand why so many people are unable to comprehend how monarchy functions. Do you think that people expect them to be omniscient? When a monarch holds real power, then the people are supposed to petition them; the monarch is also supposed to be advised by people who know more than them on a particular matter. Then there’s also the fact that monarchy is an executive institution, and thus legislative authority is delegated; that’s why and how parliaments emerged. What happens when a monarch doesn’t support one’s values? The same thing that happens under the current system; you have the right to petition them and try to change their mind, which doesn’t guarantee results. The difference is that it is far easier to convince a person to do something than a mass of hundreds or thousands of men in suits to do the same; it also provides greater accountability because you always know who is to blame. The purpose of monarchy, however, is to provide long-term stability for a nation, not to micromanage society.
@@Egg_of_the_King- because you haven’t lived in the decline like they have. Legit many countries in Europe were doing better under monarchies than under the current corrupt democracies. The monarch had an incentive to care for his people. The representatives care about money. When you have a short term in government, your own personal morals is all that keeps you from making out like a bandit.
And how do these advisors get their job? Is it always meritocratic, or is there a strong possibility it will be nepotism? Do these advisors always have the people’s best interest in mind? What if there are more people petitioning the king who disagree with you? What if the king practices ‘slam and is more devoted to that? You act like history hasn’t been full of examples of poor rulers, corruption, or instability. People who shouldn’t rule make their way into those positions all the time, you’re stuck with them and it’s a huge risk considering the amount of power for a single person. Even if there is delegation and a parliament to counter balance it. I think the problems Europe faces are caused by something other than the form of government.
@@Egg_of_the_King You ask this as if you have never heard of the concept of monarchy before; you also speak as though the assertion that nepotism and corruption exist within every system is a profound revelation. Government should always be viewed with suspicion, and, like I said, things would not be much different in regard to trying to enact popular will upon government. I said it would be somewhat easier than now, though that it would be much of the same. The primary incentive for a monarchy is long-term stability, like I stated. It is one of the oldest forms of government and was the dominant form until the last century. My country suffered quite a great amount last century, as it did under foreign emperors in the one prior. You don’t need to explain to me what I already know.
There's two types of people in the world, those who want to live in a cage and those who want freedom and all that it entails.
It's no wonder that those in gilded cages would advocate for them.
This meme shows the Speaker of the House becoming a king. I expected very little and am still let down.
3 guys will rule over 330 million people all by themselves, after firing all others who worked for the government :D
German thinks beurocracy is democracy?
Wow I'm very surprised
non wall of text and actually got a chuckle out of me. well done.
One could argue it could be smaller.
0 has a nice ring to i-ACK!
>At least there's no wall of text
Maybe they are capable of learning?
I won't get my hopes up.
Yes it was real monarchism and it was glorious.
The premise assumes a greater and greater concentration of power in the folks of govt.
This is an intentional misrepresentation of the issue.
Small government actually means reducing the amount of power and money the government has.
I think the leftist stole this meme from monarchists and interpreted it wrong.
1. and 2. Are democracy and republics.
3. Is dictatorships.
4. Is monarchy. (Its missing better uniforms for the guards a hand full of advisors and some people petitioning the king)
The punchline is Blormpf is heatlore.
Was gonna say, for a leftist meme this is A not a wall of text B has an actual punchline omg so advanced for them
They do believe this, which shows how absolutely egocentric and ignorant they are. They love the idea of telling everyone else how to live and to make that happen takes a huge bureaucratic government. This is why they love communism and socialism, really any system that require large bureaucracies to function. They cry fascism all they time but that's exactly what they want, with themselves at the top dictating the way things will be.
In the US "there are a hair over 3 million working for the federal government today, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics." - CNN Politics, Dec 14, 2024
"Despite repeated downsizing campaigns, China's civil service jobs swelled from 6.9 million in 2010 to 8 million currently" in 2024. - Reuters, Dec 30, 2024
US has 345 million citizens, China 1416 million.
Of course, I have no idea how these two different articles counted government employees.
The real Chinese population according to multiply studies relating to consumption ie salt and other staple products is likely 900 million.
@@rolanddeschain965 I don't know about that, but the real US population is probably close to 400 million. With all the illegals.
I thought there were 3 billion Chinese.
That's not what "smaller government" means.... 🤦♂
It's a fantastic meme, and very candidly honest!
For what Communism always leads to.
Based and Monarchy pilled
All leftoids would love to be Kings, just without the God part.
I keep wondering which country on Earth has ever gotten better thanks to Democracy? It always seems democracy is a luxury that makes your nation poorer.
Your country gets rich and powerful, your people get their children educated thanks to this wealth, these children develop delusions of their own intelligence and wisdom, they demand catering to the luxury that is their moralistic views in the form of self-determination and political representation. Then you get an ever-expanding voting franchise, which demands catering to its more and more petty and superficial concerns, which in turn requires an ever-growing government, which results in massive corruption, which suffocates the ability of your country to produce wealth and leads to poverty yet again.
@athera5783 in my country since the monarchy was overthrown and Democracy was shoved upon us my country only declined , only under the new state government did my country prosper under in a republican system and then in the 70s when the new state government was overthrown.... I'm sure u can guess what happened next .
@basscannonjake1235 Many such cases
What happens when the monarch and their family are progressives?
They only see the throne.
there is only POWER
I never thought I would see the day that anyone would make the open case for bureaucracy.
I admit I'm monarchist personally but I'll be honest, any effective government is ok with me and expansive democracy isn't it. It just transistional oligarchy most of time. Look at US...
I feel like this meme could be a test to see if someone has diminished learning abilities.
I actually assumed this was made by a monarch-piller until i saw this video
Smaller ≠ Centralization
Strawman at its finest
I've noticed that most political cartoons employ this kind of idiotic logic.
"our 'democracy' "
Smaller in number, smaller in cost, smaller in influence on individual lives. The issue is they think government is all powerful, and smaller means concetrating that omnipotence into fewer people... not realizing that smaller also means less powerful.
Who made this meme, the Aristocratic Spoon?
Me: wow what an odd misunderstanding of the right wing asking for smaller government.
Dev: I see no problem here, the state can do no wrong! Unless that government is run by Trump!
Wait, "leftist meme"? That doesn't sound right, i was only aware of "leftist cringe" when they are trying to be funny...
already love Vee, but I'm really impressed with this analysis
