LBJ-Nixon did the most to destroy small government, local government. Everything since then has been trying to figure out how to adapt and use why LBJ-Nixon started.
Agreed.
Honestly, there a deep unpopularity among conservatives for the Founding Fathers, and in some quarters there is even an animosity for the Founding Fathers.
I can’t be the only one who sees it. And I don’t mean GenZ. Among BoomerCons, among GenXcons, and even older conservatives still alive - though the oldest are the most likely to be pro-Founder. Millennials are in the same category, there’s no interest whatsoever for the Founding.
I think I even make people upset with the way I have chosen to revive the works of the Founders. The big government attitude is much, much more pervasive. It is what I see anyways. I think people want the Founding to be dead and keep it dead in favor of a much more dictatorial government just not a “progressive” dictatorial government.
The progressives’ project to get rid of the Founders has been a resounding success across all generations. We bought it and its a popular seller, the shelves are bare. They can’t keep it in stock.
