Don't misunderstand, I LOVE my country, but I am beginning to fear my government, and I mean both major parties.

I do not fear my government, but do fear those who attack it constantly and as a matter of course. Change in direction, when needed, has a route. It is not public accusations and hate, but requires LISTENING and discussing with the aim being what is best for the country, not simple political power.
And if I recall in the movie you reference voters would not tolerate lying in public under any circumstance. Although long time since I saw it. And those who wanted only raw power short on ideas were not tolerated
And the other lesson in the movie you reference......do not fear the government, but fear those voters who send the wrong people to serve., and those who are privileged to serve need to be held accountable.
