One side of government is intent on breaking government and then using that dysfunction as a justification to create more dysfunction. The American political environment relies entirely on fear and creating fear using misinformation.

- arcbyte 9y agoI agree completely, although I highly suspect we would refer to different "sides" as the ones intent on "breaking government".
- pavel_lishin 9y agoI think one side has explicitly stated it as their goal, hasn't it?
- avs733 9y agoNo...this isn't a 'both sides' thing. It is a defined political strategy that one side is committed to[0]. There is a difference between a group of people doing things that you think will break government and a group of people doing things with the intent of breaking government. This type of 'counter argument' is a symptom of exactly what I'm talking about. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starve_the_beast https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starve_the_beast
