General Discussion

There was a time when government was generally not reviled.

Of course, that time was when women had to be in the kitchen keeping their mouths shut, gays had to be so far back in the closet that they couldn’t see the light when the door opened and Blacks had to be happy with whatever crumbs they got. Disapproval of government started with FDR, imo, and accelerated with Brown v Bd. Of Ed. When people started seeing social change reactionary forces generally backed by wealth started fighting back albeit quietly. The election of the piece of human garbage named Ronald Reagan gave those forces the courage to show themselves. The agitprop has been going full bore for over 60 years.

This country will not survive the oligarchy. But most of us will not be around to try and pick up any pieces.
