The GOP has for a long time been the party of "big government" precisely for this reason: at pivotal moments, it has either led or helped grow the size of the regime. Bill Buckley himself rationalized a "totalitarian bureaucracy" three years before founding National Review
What this means is that even the GOP's core talking point, "big government is bad," is a lie that they themselves have never believed
Republicans have always found an excuse to grow the big government they claim to hate and I say that as someone who is not even a fiscal conservative
It's not that the GOP supports a centralized government, it's that is supports an evil, psychotic centralized government that wants to dominate and and control oppress their constituents

TL;DR: a museum exhibit focusing on the lives of European immigrants in a specific place injects black people who *never even lived there* into the exhibit
Literally every other group gets their own exhibits/narratives that don't include a Mandatory White Man, and if they do he serves as a heel
Libs (that includes plenty of conservatives) be like "haha what's the big deal?" when they do stuff like this but they would *never* dare go the other way and foist awful white people into brown/black historical narratives except as a heel
Yes, the GOP, which complains about law and order and woke stuff and liberal prosecutors, has punished a *Republican* elected prosecutor. Meanwhile, the GOP has not taken action against the race hustling prosecutor who lynched Jake Gardner in Nebraska.
If Republicans are going to charge a conservative prosecutor with "violation of oath of public officer," then there is *more* reason to charge people like DA John Chisholm with the same for what Darrell Brooks did in Waukesha, Wisconsin.
Danielle Weston was elected to a Texas school board to defend the interests of parents, but since entering office she has been fighting resolutions of other board members to strip her of her duties and powers because they don't like her rocking the boat 1/ rumble.com/vpqpb1-brave-s…
I interviewed Danielle and other Texas parents in November at a time when the Texas GOP was dragging its feet to help these parents 2/ chroniclesmagazine.org/blog/welcome-t…
For James Fields in Charlottesville, Jake Gardner in Omaha, and Rittenhouse in Kenosha, prosecutors cited their private remarks and social media to cast them as racially motivated terrorists. But not so with Darrell Brooks in Waukesha, who killed more than all three *combined* 1/
Brooks is the only one who didn't kill in self-defense and unlike Fields, can't even make the case that it was an accident. Judging by his criminal record and social media, his is the strongest case of terrorism. Fields and Rittenhouse didn't even have criminal records 2/
But the establishment consensus is that Brooks' political views and social media are--according to everyone from the media to the pro BLM Waukesha police chief and Republicans like Ron Johnson-- irrelevant, off limits, "don't politicize" 3/
