Bush won in 2004. What makes you think a majority won't do privately what they did publicly?
Moreover, what constitutes something the government should be doing vs. what it shouldn't? I suspect that my preferred government would look different than yours. We may agree about police, roads, and parks, but what don't we agree on? And what happens if one of us gets our wish? The other would be just as unhappy if not more so under the new government. I'm guessing you're a libertarian (clearly a wild guess), but I'm a democratic socialist. That could make for some awkward concessions on either side.
