    Yes, but Americans hating their government is exactly what got us here.

    Doubling down on that sentiment is only going to make things worse.

    You understand that, right?

        Well, you expect your hate to create for you a few comrades, but it’ll only make for more hillbillies named Conrad.

          Cute, but maybe the classist stuff isn’t actually a clever tool.

          You know why they’re called red necks?

      Lack of criticism of the US government in the first place is what got us here. You can say the GOP is worse all you want but you must admit that the Democrats are massive fuck ups either if you want things to ever get better.

      You can’t keep falling for this notion of “every criticism of the democrats is supporting the GOP”. Its not even an election year for Christ’s sake.

      Hating the government is right and good. The problem is the crushing of the left, the popular front, and the Democrats taking up all space for opposition to the Republicans, while wanting to be “polite Republicans” and maintaining the status quo above all else is what gave opening for hating the government to take this reactionary form.
