This scares me. Analysis at Corpus Callosum:
Is there some kind of especially violent undercurrent right now, in the right-wing river of hate? …”Starve the beast,” by the way, is a phrase that refers to the neoconservative policy popularized by Grover Norquist: “My goal is to cut government in half in twenty-five years, to get it down to the size where we can drown it in the bathtub.” What makes this nonsensical is that the starve-the-beast philosophy has nothing to do with corruption; it is a non sequitur. Plus, the starve-the-beast strategy was to use large budget deficits so that social programs would become unaffordable. The current Administration is doing that rather effectively. So in effect, they are calling for a revolution because the Administration is doing what they want! Need I say, this doesn’t make any sense at all. It is totally muddled thinking
