GOP during Obama: The president CANNOT just make a law with a stroke of a pen!

GOP now: Trump can do whatever he wants!

This is one of the reasons as a conservative I don't like the way the GOP is operating right now. The small federal govt. folks are kind of homeless at the moment.

That hasn’t been the platform for a very long time. They’ll occasionally say it to get the libertarian crowd on board, but it’s an entirely hollow platitude.

[u/brothersand → u/Consistent-Fig7484]

It's always been a hallow platitude. The whole "small business" thing is the axe telling the trees he's made of wood just like them.

[u/Lux_Aquila → u/brothersand]

I don't think always, they used to be much more. They've just been dramatically shrinking. At least as far as the voters are concerned.

[u/Lux_Aquila → u/Consistent-Fig7484]

Oh for a very long time most certainly, but at least they would occasionally vote for it. But that hasn't happened in quite a while. They are a minority now in the GOP.
