The state was made for us, not us for the state. I was hearing on a recent Dr. Drew that Marjorie Taylor Greene viewed the government as a business, and us as its customers. I pushed back and said no...we are the employers. That's what you don't get. We are the ones who developed the government to serve us. The founding fathers knew very well the ideas that come to those who get into power, and in knowing their nature, created a system that was designed to keep it in check. Possibly in knowing that a government "for the people by the people" was a pipe dream.
This is a hard mindset to solidify and maintain.
