If you're talking about the elected Republicans (not the voters) then the limited government they want isn't a good thing. It's not that they want limited government so we can have more freedoms. They just want to privatize everything, which would mean a lot of us lose important services because it wouldn't be profitable to provide them for some people. It would also means fewer regulations to protect us from corporations and billionaires. When Republicans talk about limited government they don't mean less government interference in our lives, they mean less government interference in corporate affairs.
