Government.

My first instinct was to agree with you about the government. There's not much to be proud of here.

I would be interested in your distinction between this government, this administration, and… This TYPE of government.

A representative democracy of capitalism and opportunity. I think the government as founded is brilliant idea. It has been mangled and distorted and corrupted by corrupt politicians for centuries.

When you say you don't like the government? What exactly are you talking about?
