I could have been one of them, had I continued on the path of "hate government no matter what."

To be fair about such sentiments, when Reagan said "government is the problem" he was looking at a government that had taken the New Deal and subsequently the Great Society way past what government should have been. It was liberal bloat. That was then, this is now.

We are in a 4th turning. The Civics are going to make government great again.

The Xers and Boomers who cling to the 3T are going to hate it.

I think what we are seeing is the Red Boomers and Red Xers are really acting out now because everyone knows the real Regeneracy is coming. The real Regeneracy will make government OK again. It will be considered an extremist belief to hate government. This will be especially true once we complete the 4T and start the 1T.

So, all haters here, continue your hate fest. Burn yourselves out really well. This is your last chance to espouse 3T thinking.

I'm from the old northern progressive tradition that sees government in a free democratic society not as some oppressive force, but as the instrument of the popular will and as the protector of the people against oligarchy and aristocracy. Historically it's always been oligarchs (whether landed aristocrats or capitalist plutocrats) who have been the greatest enemies of government power because it is a threat to their ability to carve out their own private fiefdoms.
