As Kakki has said, we consider ourselves to be the government. Even if we don't agree with everything the current administration does or says. Our constitution, upon which all our laws and government are based starts: We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America. We the people... There is no us and them. From what I understand of British history, for example, there was always an us and them - from feudal lords to kings. If you were an 'us' (a cerf, for example) you could never be a "them" (a lord, or a king). That was literally the stuff of fairy tales. So, your history most likely taught you to think differently about your government. It's separate, I guess. Maybe this clarifies why we seem to take it so personally. lots of love Anne
