We don't want to destroy the government, nor the country, that would be republicans, from FDR on.
Donald Trump’s elaborate plot to overthrow the democratically elected president was neither impulsive nor uncoordinated, but straight out of the playbook of another American coup attempt – the 1933 “Wall Street putsch” against newly elected Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
Then, there was........
During the 50’s the United States was gripped with panic. Communists control led the two world superpowers, China and the Soviet Union Americans feared a takeover in their own country. While Senator McCarthy accused hundreds of people in the government of communist activities, Americans listened to and read the news in fear. Nobody was safe from accusations, neighbors, war veterans, not even governmental officials.
Then Reagan.
the views of Ronald Reagan on big government can consider what he thought were the nine most terrifying words in the English language: “I’m from the government, and I’m here to help.” Reagan
stated many times the danger of this seemingly mundane claim, and it came to define many aspects of his presidency, as well as his legacy.
As the de facto representative of the federal government to the nation and around the world, it might seem at odds that the president would make such a claim about government intervention. However, Ronald Reagan on big government was much different than the president’s views on government in general. The president was a strong supporter of the idea that the federal government had too much power and influence. At the time, budgets for entitlement programs were ballooning and federal agencies had their hand in nearly every aspect of Americans’ daily lives. The state of the government was rendering it ineffective, and leading to over-regulated industries, with growth being stifled.

Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul is facing criticism for requesting federal aid for his home state despite his long track record of opposing aid for other regions recovering from disasters.
Kentucky was one of several Midwestern states rocked by tornadoes over the weekend. The storms decimated large portions of towns, and as many as 70 people are believed to have been killed in Western Kentucky.
Paul, a Republican, shared a photo of a letter he sent to the Biden administration requesting "expeditious approval" of a request for federal aid made by Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear.
