>So you want the government to fail at the things you want it to fail at, yet you're trying to project that onto conservatives?

There's an important distinction between wanting the government to fail, and wanting the government to cease violating civil liberties en masse.

There is a false dichotomy being manufactured/astroturfed by Republicans that the only choice is between the current Star-spangled Gestapo and unrestricted, mass illegal immigration.

In actual fact there is a broad spectrum of approaches between those two.
