Trump is the result in that breakdown of trust, not the cause. We have the best Congress money can buy, and the bureaucracy spends its time, and our money, playing kingmaker. Why would anyone trust public institutions?
That is not true? It is not the best, the money were used to make it dysfunctional. The congressional dysfunction is not due to bureaucracy. Conservative actors who want the government to fail, so they intentionally changed the rules so that it cant fix the issues.
Of course, congress can not do much in a two party system where one party is ideologically dedicated to obstruction and destruction. But, the right place to complain about that are conservatives, not the abstract government.
You mean the job of terrorizimg the communities? ICE is law breaking unaccountable violent group. Yes, it is ok to want them to stop. It is proper role of government to protect rights of people and to stop roque agencies.
And yes, conservatives do want the government to fail. They are actively working on it.
Third, I did not said congress is "corrupt". As of now, the most corrupt are president, those around him and supreme court. Republicans in congress are acting in bad faith.
>So you want the government to fail at the things you want it to fail at, yet you're trying to project that onto conservatives?
There's an important distinction between wanting the government to fail, and wanting the government to cease violating civil liberties en masse.
There is a false dichotomy being manufactured/astroturfed by Republicans that the only choice is between the current Star-spangled Gestapo and unrestricted, mass illegal immigration.
In actual fact there is a broad spectrum of approaches between those two.
ICE is doing no such thing. They're trying to do their job. Law enforcement, you know, what the state is supposed to be doing?
There's no Star-spangled Gestapo. That's just fever dreams on your part. And the reason we're here is because the Democrats facilitated and even encouraged mass illegal immigration.
And there are a lot of hapless pawns of large corporations rioting against ICE. Probably the same people who wonder why pay hasn't kept up with inflation.
>Trump is the result in that breakdown of trust, not the cause.
I agree, and my comment should not be construed to imply otherwise. It's Americans themselves that are the problem, which is why the decay of America will long outlive Trump.
