- Some of us are skeptical that Republicans really fell away from a believe system. Instead it appears that Republican ideology is grounded in a view that government is bad, thus when in power they live that view and govern poorly.
I don't really understand what you're saying here. How did they live the view that "government is bad" when they, in fact, expanded government?
And I dont understand what you are saying.
How are a view that "government is bad" and using power to expand government incompatible?
Because why would you want to expand something that you inherently view as "bad"? I think I'm missing something here.
I'm not explaining it well.
In some motivational coaching there is an emphasis on using positive visualization techniques. The idea being that if you mentally focus on the successful outcome, you will find the path to success [http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1365/is_4_33/ai_93307102]
I'm suggesting that visualization may work in a negative fashion too: if your mental model is that power always corrupts and bureaucracies are inherently inept, how will you perform when the power and administration are in your hands?
