The fascists that want to reduce the size of the federal government? Those fascists?

Yes, the ones currently plundering and sending money to their private companies. I’m not sure what argument you’re trying to make with this.

The argument I am making is crystal clear. We will fight against fascism, we will fight against control by the federal government.
We will fight for freedom. You will fight against that. We will win.

Yup, that’s what I thought.

That's you!
Trump Derangement Syndrome has really done a number on your head.
Fascism isn’t defined by the size of the government. This is a weak argument that only works in a vacuum.
Reducing what? Reducing why? Reducing where? The choices have meaning, and your neglecting to address that show your wilful ignorance.
My insisting you lose weight in your GUT is not the same as losing weight in your SKULL. Where, when, how fast determines whether fitness, torture, or murder.
BE MORE DISCERNING
The truly horrible thing is, that it might not be possible. That the federal government has grown so complex, that it is no longer possible to maintain a modicum of control or to stop its further growth without destructive action. Simply because it is beyond anyone to refactor the thing is a more constructive manner.

Uh there are plenty of people with constructive ideas about government reform.
Congress needs to be responsible for restructuring the government. Even if you support what President Trump is doing, it'll all be reversed on day 1 of the next Democratic administration. Avoiding this kind of yoyoing every four years is one of the reasons the Founding Fathers made all proposed major changes to the government receive public debate and approval at least five times (House+Senate committee then House+Senate floor then president).
