Sure the progressives did grew the government, but did the conservatives like Reagan and Bushes made it smaller? No, in fact quite the opposite. The libertarians who want to participate in politics are most of the time excluded on the sideline of politics. CATO has no real impact in Washington politics whatsoever. Even Rothbard had denounced the creation he created.
Ron Paul changed some people minds about about those topics, but what have been done to eliminated them in the U.S congress? Nothing. Even if the Republican takes over the majority in the senate this November, would anything be done? Be honest to yourself here.
What already have been done to fix the problem of government surveillance came from tech companies like Apple and Google. They've recently announced that they will start encrypting their users data from the federal AND local police. No bull$#@! politics needed here.
As for the drug war, Silk Road 2.0 and multitude other darknet drug stores have been saving people from getting shot, stab, and arrested when buying their drug. Why wait for Washington politics when you can sit in your pajamas ordering your weeds, and god knows how many other types of drug, safely in the comfort of your home and assured the best quality.
Drones? Isn't Obama still using them to kill innocent civilians around the world? Sure people knows how horrible drones killing are, but has any progress made in politics to eliminated it? Even Rand support using drones for god shake.
There was a personality traits study for politicians around the world, turned out narcissism and psychopathy are the most common traits for the majority of politician. So, politics is NOT the thing that will change government. The Roman's senate didn't revert Roman's dictatorial end, the British parliament didn't save the empire from wars, what make politics in the U.S any different?
The only thing that ever changed humanity for the better are individuals creating products and services for the consumers' needs and wants. Outlawing are only useful for creating black markets. Government protectionism politics are only there to get in the way between business competitors and the consumers.
But I'm not all totally downer about it, I accept the fact that there will always be protectionism politics. We only have to work around them. Politics is most draining to the soul anyway. I prefer looking at cats meme.
