What's the number one most mentioned problem, according to a recent Gallup poll? Government itself.
So it makes sense that they would more quickly name government as the leading problem - which in turn raises the question of why they would push so hard for government to exercise more power over our lives.
Having Trump as their president in office has not increased confidence in government.
It has had the opposite effect, turning Republicans themselves against government as never before.
Government is the least effective way to solve any social problem.
The vast gulf that separates the two parties, with extremes driving the ideological debate on either side, is what government now has to offer us.
Instead limited government conservatism may give way to an attempt to improve on Trumpism with clearer blueprints and smarter cadres for the same reason that changes often happen in political ideology - because the people whose thinking is changing feel that they don't have any other choice.
