What Kind of Government?

It is disturbing. Both parties seem filled with party over country people so I sort of understand the impulse. My gut says we have to overcome our own reluctance to engage with our government. In myself that lack of engagement is the result of a lifetime simmering in backward looking ideologies which don't respect the need for good governance and a social contract. That baseline ideology severed rural America from the workings of government but somehow doubled down on flag waving nationalism. So you get a deep respect for a military which defends a system you oppose. People can be pretty fucking crazy.

People probably assume that the dictator will have their political perspective
