My Best Friend Died from Loneliness
It is common for people in particular social circles to maintain the erroneous belief that the GOP is all about free markets and small government.<p>This is wrong. It just so happens that the sorts of Republicans one is most likely to meet in silicon valley or New York city or Los Angeles tend to be this kind of libertarian Republican. These are also the richest Republicans and sometimes the most vocal in the kinds of media consumed by liberals, which explains the confusion<p>Most republicans do not care about free market purity and certainly do not care about making government smaller. For example, the majority of Republicans (myself included) praised trump for his establishment of proper protective tariffs. This isn&#x27;t what is typically meant by neoliberal free markets. Moreover, I would like to see the government grow, just not in the way the Democratic party and many democrats do. Most republicans think like me.
