yall gonna hate cause i said its the best.
(except for maybe canada and britain) if given the choice to live in ANY country's government in the world i'd prolly pick america. despite how fucking shifty politicians are. in other countries they just behead and thats the norm, here were just afraid that one day our government might start to turn on us. look around at other countries tho 4real they straight feed on there people. here were just a lil paranoid in actual comparison. dont always think the grass is greener, your ass might end up in the Sahara
and love is a really powerful word in the human spirit... i dont think government should ever have blind infatuated devotion from its people... more like old friends that watch each others backs and take care of eachother... thats what government should be to its people

Churchill said, "Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all those other forms that have been tried", and I'm inclined to agree with him. Sure, all the democratic governments are full of time-servers, frauds and liars, but they operate within a framework of law, even though it's often imperfect, and from time to time we get the chance to kick one lot out and put up with the other lot for a while. Try living in a country where there is no government other than armed psychopaths who will use murder, brutality, torture, and rape to achieve what they want, often in the name of some vile religion or creed that says anyone who doesn't belong to it is an unbeliever and must be destroyed. ISIS (or whatever they call themselves this week), Boko Haram (Nigeria), the Taliban, al Shabaab (Sudan) are all groups of murdering bastards for whom women are inferior creatures and slaughter is always preferable to debate. Try living for a week under the rule of these vermin and then see what you think of Western governments.
To go back to the original question: What do I think about my government? I think they're a pain in the arse, but I'd rather have them than a lot of the alternatives.

It needs a refit, strip it back to the bare brick, clean it out and start again. Let the public have an input, more say before decisions are made and not just a vote.
We have a monarchy in the UK also who play a role in the mechanics of the government.

I think my government (USA) can improve but I'm not a conspiracy theorist because most conspiracies don't make sense

I do not believe in government. The Senators could once give themselves raises, and it took them 100 years to make that illegal.

Fuck the government!
The idea of a government that protects and takes care of people is nice, but it's utopian.
Power corrupts, simple as that.
But they are smart though. They purposefully spread false conspiracy theories to confuse people.
Only a lost soul will truly believe that the government has people's interest at heart.
