But the thing is that this power of which you speak is supposed to be ours, per our form of government.
We are so far off the reservation that we have given up on trying to reclaim our government and instead, must now find ways to protect ourselves from our government.
That's a powerful statement about the plight of our nation.
Trouble is, the government represents 300 million people. You can't "reclaim your government" when the angered party consists of a couple thousand people.
I'm not sure what you mean by "the angered party", but my point was specifically that our government has been co-opted by interest groups that are not the people.
The fact that we have 300 million citizens and majority will cannot be expressed is exactly a symptom of this condition. The government is no longer the people, but a separate entity with its own agendas. Agendas which frequently run counter to the interests of the people.
