Usually those of us who have voted for less government have voted for candidates that haven’t even gotten elected. People instead are voting for-or-against abortion, for-or-against gun control, or whatever other never-been-solved issues and then letting their voted-for representatives run rampant on nearly every other issue. (Never mind the role of the two party system, the anti democratic shenanigans in those parties, and the only real choice being the lesser of two evils.) Those politicians have given us more and more government in the form of regulatory bodies, enforcement bodies under the umbrella of the executive, and bureaucracy. You may or may not like those things but to lay them at the feet of people who want less government is absurd.
