One thing I’ve learned the past few years is that we’ve all greatly overestimated the people in governments. I’m not sure if it’s because of movies or what that influenced that. The reality is that people are, for the most part, as dumb as anyone else. It’s just that the people are generally more private (often because it’s legally compelled) so we don’t see all the mistakes as obviously as we do in other fields.
America is also going through a wave of activism on all fronts, so being naive or unsophisticated isn’t really relevant to that.
