Republican Governances

Our U.S. federal government should be an infinitesimally tiny slow moving particle.
Our state governments should be unimaginably gargantuan hegemonic behemoths.
This is the desired governmental impetus the Republican party wants for the U.S. population.
I have a question. Won't we then be the ancient European and Mediterranean city-states which caused centuries of wars? Oh...right...
Republicans like those aggression ideas as well!
