Do you genuinely believe that government as a whole actually cares about your best interest? (ani.social)

the government isn't a singular entity so this is kinda a loaded question.

at a local level there are definitely more people with our interests in mind than there are in upper levels of government, but yes I do believe that overall there is a majority trying to work in our best interest.

unfortunately there's a powerful minority working for their own self interests, and another large group of people who are well intentioned but misinformed.
