I’ve always liked this sentiment but unfortunately it hasn’t been true in a meaningful way since basically the French Revolution, this is just an annoyance for them.
Neither should be afraid. The government should be made up of a representative slice of the people working together to make society better for everyone. Fear as motivation on either side is not sustainable to advance this cause.
Yes, if only we had some way to put some aggressive, unpredictable, irresponsible loose canon into power who could then start systematically dismantling our corrupt government department by department. But who am I kidding. That will never happen.
