Which is what most of them wanted. The Federalist sounds like they are hawking for more red states to have more government like the blue states. As long as people have good jobs, good schools, and safety, they want to be left alone.

I didn’t read it that way. I think they were getting to the issue of advocacy. Are your elected representatives actually advocating for conservative values and policies? Or are they doing what the gop normally does and allows the left to set the agenda without a fight and rollis over as soon as possible?
A government that actually operates competently and then leaves it’s people alone is a lot harder in practice than being a busybody. Interference and busybodies are the norm when it comes to governance.
