And proselytizing our current system isn't setting up a dystopia of its own?

  Your question makes the assumption that our current system qualifies as "small government". The filibuster is gone.. Trump is able to by executive order deport people and change America's course on the world stage.. Net Neutrality is being destroyed and new laws are being made to promote the big players in the market... That's not small government. That's big government.

    Okay then, I must not be sure what you envision as "small government". Did you have any examples in mind? Any examples that allow for innovation, propel a first world standard of living, and protect the rights of its citizens?

  Despite the prevalent challenges and maladies afflicting the republic, calling the current state of affairs dystopian is hyperbole.

    I said "setting up" a dystopia. You can't seriously see almost every communication being monitored, the middle class being replaced by cheap overseas/automated labor, and the amount of easily buyable lawmakers to be indicative of a sustainable, bright future?
