"freedom from government interference, is being promoted by those seeking to weaken the government enough to supplant it"

That is a very big generalisation. There are many legitimate reasons for reducing government interference and reducing the size of government.

Currently, there is a very effective push by people who want to weaken the government enough to supplant it. They are giving themselves ideological coverage by claiming they protecting people from interference.

Is that a rephrasing you could live with?

No it isn't - OP didn't say everyone who promotes that idea wants to weaken the government, but rather those who wish to weaken the government are promoting that idea.
