It was always ‘small government for thee, big government for me’. There was never a moment when the republican party was unified in being small government for everyone. It was always ‘small government’ when regulation was bad for them, or they were in favor of government intervention when they needed a bail-out or some regulations passed to help them capture upstart market
When Republicans didn’t have the majority they believed in “small govt state rights” so they could do whatever they want in their red bubbles. Now that they hold all the cards, their pro government so they can force their ways in blue bubbles. Not the best way of articulating my point but that’s my thoughts on when they switched. Next time we have a blue majority, they will be pro small govt and anti fed again. Always been this way pretty much on both sides of the aisle.
