You're a lot more optimistic than I am. Look at the voting patterns of the right wing of our congress. I don't see any small gov advocates there who pay anything but lip service to the concept. They'll fall over themselves to not only protect Trump, but to be the loudest and most supportive of him.

Well, a lot of them were purged over the past few years. Fascists doing their thing you know. Things change though, that is one certainty. Not very predictably either.

Also note, I didn't exactly say it would be easy. Simply possible. Where, say, an amendment that made voting mandatory would be actually fully impossible.
