I would argue that the Democrats only wanted “small government” so no one would interfere with their abuses of people’s rights. The government has an obligation to enforce the bill of rights and ensure those freedoms are not infringed on.

Kind of like the Chamber of Commerce style defenses made of businesses with mask and jab mandates being sold as “businesses should be free to be run as the owner sees fit, without interference. Just shop/work somewhere else.”

They were afraid a strong central government would infringe on the rights of States to remain sovereign in their governance. They lost that war, too.
