I believe most don't think much about it and when they do the focus seems to be not on the institution but rather on certain people in it. (This is kind of like not being against slavery, but merely against vicious slave masters.) If most people truly hated the government, I believe things would look very different. In fact, under such conditions, the government would find it difficult to operate since it depends on cooperation and acquiescence if not active support of most people to remain in place. Once that goes, any real world government's days would be numbered. (Which doesn't mean a new government wouldn't simply emerge.)</div><br><blockquote type="cite"><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="auto" style="font-size:19.2px"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small;color:rgb(0,0,0)">In other words, he is dissing only those people his supporters want dissed, which explains why so many of his voters are still with him - in addition to the entertainment value, of course. Apparently, Obama, Clinton etc. are still popular targets with his voters.
