I say go the other way. Fucking people are trash and need to be babysat like fucking toddlers. Government is the only sensible people trying to keep it all together

Government is the only sensible people trying to keep it all together.

That's pretty funny, does that include your political enemies?

From my pov government is "just people" like the rest of us, they just happened to be elected by a bunch of trash toddlers to be "head trash toddler #24."

Can honestly say I've never had a political enemy

That's called authoritarianism and it's really unpopular for a reason.

I dunno, there's a bunch of MAGAs in the USA who get hard at the thought.

Government is horrible at policing individuals. Name one instance where involving the government in peoples daily lives has had a net positive impact. I'm not talking about social services either, I'm talking authority that has gone into the home and "baby sat" individuals.

Oo, I'll agree with that. Public education is positive. Is that your argument, people should receive more education?
