>America also has a party that always runs on the idea of small government and restoring rights to the people. Every time they get power, they do the exact opposite.

You seem to be confused. The Libertarian Party never gets any power. The closest we get is representatives like Ron Paul, Justin Amash, and Thomas Massie, who run as Republicans (which are NOT the party of small government, despite what you may have been told) while acting much more like Libertarians.

Thomas Massie in particular is famous for frequently and routinely standing up against Trump, much to Trump's chagrin.

I believe that's the point.

The Republican Party *pretends* to be "small government", but isn't.
