Sadly, this is so true.
To me, it feels like in the past a lot of people tried to expose the government for being duplicitous.
Now that our society has been pushed to an extreme of economic disparity, we have home-grown rioters on the conservative end who are upset that life ISN'T the way it used to be, i.e., when we were getting dicked over by the government in the past, it was okay because it fed into their sense of order. They didn't mind being used as pawns in THAT game. But now, when people are trying to get the government to serve the greater good (which is an ironic "fat chance"), they're pissed off because WE might get a little more social justice and equity.
Social justice and equity is NOT like a pie. Just because some people get more of it, doesn't mean YOU get less.
Unless you are in the top end of income distribution.
