I assume this is the "small government" party doing this?

(I'm not an American)

Republicans, which yeah. They like to talk about “small government” when it comes to billionaires and taxes, it really, that’s about it.

And guns. Can't forget the guns.

Yes. They want "small government" when the law affects them, but "law and order" when it punishes someone else who annoys them.

It's childishness we've come to be accustomed to, thanks to lead-brained 70-year-olds who are falling into legit cognitive decline... but still have the numbers to be a formidable opponent at the polls on election day.

Also, their dicks don't work anymore without a blue pill, so they may as well take away the consensual naked fun of Gen X, Millennial, and Gen Z (18+) people right?

Small so it can sneak into all their citizen's lives.

Government so small it can fit in a uterus or male pee hole!

(I know the scientific name but pee hole is funniest.)
