I mean the thing is, even when we felt like they were there, did they even do anything beneficial for the common folk? No government really cares about its people anymore. It’s just a way for people elected to line up their pockets.

Reeks of that 20 something "I'm so cool and know everything" ignorance that would get him hired in Musks bullshit coup corp.

Brother you pay into that shit. And the amounts you get back are ridiculous. Almost none of the government’s systems work for you.

I think there was some hope that it could be repaired slowly if the republican party became too batshit crazy to elect again
