It would help if we had consensus on what Government is. Many (including myself) believe that Government should be for "the common good", via a legal system, government investments in shared needs/resources, etc. The current admin believes that Government exists for only two reasons: personal enrichment and punishing perceived enemies. I'd love to be proven wrong but I don't see that happening.
