   Once you understand the Republican Party not as some sort of genuine conservative political project but rather as an unwieldy machine for serving the interests of capital, it all makes more sense. There is an entire underlying belief among the true clientele of right wing political parties that government spending is bad because it comes out of their pockets and goes into the pockets of other people. For those who are already rich, there is no need for public services, public schools, public health programs, etcetera, because if you are rich you can buy all those things on the private market. Distilled capitalist logic tells the rich that the only government functions that benefit them are those that serve to protect capital, meaning law and order and military spending and associated measures necessary to enable rich people to maintain their wealth. All other government spending is seen as a straightforward tax on the rich for the benefit of the less rich. This view is at the heart of all “small government” beliefs. It gets presented as, like, cowboys who want to roam free, but it is really “rich private school parents who don’t want to pay for books for the poors.”
