one group believes in small government? What group is that? Not the GOP, certainly. In 2017, trump asked congress for huge cuts in many departments/agencies (e.g,. EPA (-33%), DOL (-21%), and many others)...however, congress offered a budget to trump that had no cuts, essentially, and actually increased the budget....who controlled congress (senate and house) in 2017? The GOP controlled both senate and the house...

so which group wants smaller government?

There are plenty of groups that advocate for smaller government - one being "Citizens Against Government Waste."

I intentionally refrained from naming specific groups since that wasn't really the point.
