I don't see how the people of the US would fight a battle against big government, and then replace it with an equally (if not moreso) corrupt socialist government.

I couldn't have said it better myself. And the last time i checked, america is a lot better off than the UK. Make all the predictions you want. Time will tell.
EDIT:
I will feed the troll.
The majority of American people do not want to outlaw gay marriages, they say that people should be free to marry who the wish and the state doesnt have the right to stop them
Not so much, most people are pretty closed minded it seems. I highly doubt you could find more than 10% of people that support it in the bible belt(the midwest) and most places, the elected officials are going against it. Most people don't really support it. On tfp, it might be different though, as we are a lot more open minded. as people on forums like this are.
The majority of American people support a free choice for women with regards to abortion, they acknowledge that the state does not have the right to tell women what to do with their own bodies, and that all women should be supported in taking this most difficult choice.
I'd say its about 50/50.
The majority of American people believe that wealthy corporations and individuals should pay more tax than people struggling to get by.
I would agree to a point. People don't deserve to be taxed an insane amount. The gov needs to reduce its crazy spending, and cut taxes.
The majority of American people, while they support their troops, believe in peace, they do not want to fight in Afghanistan, Iraq, Kora, Vietnam, or anywhere else. The American people understand that the only just war is a war of self defence, and that conquest is never just.
Again, most are split 50/50. Giver or take.
The American people believe in and support universal health care for all, funded by the state, from the cradle to the grave.
Bullshit. Plain and simple. Most people believe in helping others out, but universal, not so much. Mostly because this kinda shit costs way to much money, and that means taxes. Americans HATE taxes.
The American people want more funding on their school system which is struggling terribly, rather than more cruise missiles.
Yes, in theory. Again, locally here, school leveys fail all the time, and yet, ohio usually votes republican and hence in favor of military spending..
The American people believe in welfare, in unemployment insurance, in helping the homeless get back on their feet, in religious and cultural freedom for all people of all colour and creeds.
Welfare? Most people hate it and view them as no good bums. Welfare should only be used if the people are working, or looking. Welfare was never meant to last this long, and most people hate it. It's money out of my pocket to support some crack whore and her 12 kids. It's bullshit. Other freedoms...yes.
