Certainly Hitler, Stalin, and Mao and 100 other recent imitators should have been enough to demonstrate to us that big liberal central govt does not work and is very very deadly. Our Founders based our county on this principle without having seen Hitler Stalin and Mao. We have seen them and still don't know to make liberalism illegal as our Founders intended. What is wrong with us?
Here are some quotes from Jefferson and Madison to introduce libsocialists to the basics of American History:
Thomas Jefferson:
The natural progress of things is for liberty to yield and government to gain ground.
“I believe there are more instances of the abridgment of the freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments of those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations.”
― James Madison
Jefferson:
History, in general, only informs us of what bad government is.
I own that I am not a friend to a very energetic government. It is always oppressive.
I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.
My reading of history convinces me that bad government results from too much government.
Our country is now taking so steady a course as to show by what road it will pass to destruction, to wit: by consolidation of power first, and then corruption, its necessary consequence.
