I'll tip my hat to the new Constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then I'll get on my knees and pray
We don't get fooled again

Yeah
Meet the new boss
Same as the old boss

Except the "Small government" is even bigger. The only difference is that all the money gets handed to oligarchs. The Republicans have never reduced spending while in power.

This kind of shit is why the right keeps winning. Even the people that oppose them buy into their framing and repeat their lies and propaganda.

Is that not what this comic is saying?

Showing the blatant hypocrisy?

The comic shows a smaller govt and says that's bad for the poor.

The person to whom you're responding is saying Republicans actually create a bigger government that's worse for the poor.

They're spending less on social services and frittering it away on government bibles that only Trump sells.

See I saw it as an irony type thing where the artist is showing the blatant hypocrisy of the idea of govt so small it fits into every household.

Maybe I'm just overthinking it.
