That is a very complicated question, and the answer is also quite complicated. I can only speak from my own experience. So back in the day (quite some years ago) I was (and still am) a patriot, some would say "super-patriot" my-country-right-or-wrong kind of guy. I spent 4 years in the USMC and got an honorable discharge. I served during a major conflict, but never was IN that conflict, I was stationed elsewhere. For years I derided hippies and commies in this country and still have an abiding hatred for such traitors to our way of life.
But.... big BUT.... over the past few years, especially after Obama got into the White House, I have noticed a sliding away from our core principles, all for political expedience and convenience and corruption of those in power. I began to see very plain evidence of our government lying to us. The CV-19 shit and the vaxxes put forth were the biggest lies, and that they were "safe and effective." My government was not only lying, it was actually creating problems for us.
Then along came stupid Biden, closing gas pipelines and cancelling drilling leases, selling a fake green new deal, pushing the LGBQT-EIEIO-whatever agenda, abortions on demand, and other bullshit and I lost total confidence in our government. The DOJ / FBI / IRS / FDA / CDC / NIH / DOE / and other agencies were weaponized against We The People. And people died. From vaccines, from being forced into nursing homes, from neglect.... in other words, murdered.
And then to put icing on the cake, it was revealed that our government had been running bioweapon labs inside Ukraine.
I still, and always will, love my country and my people.... I just loathe our government. Our bloated, out-of-control, criminal and corrupt government, doing all these things in our name, and with our tax dollars. I believe THAT is what you are seeing at work, a great disappointment in our government.
It's also the consent of the governed being withdrawn... we no longer consent to be governed by this feckless, corrupt, and (face it) doddering and stupid government. It is being run by the criminals, of the criminals, and for the criminals.
So what do we do now? There is an answer to that, and it's contained in the Declaration of Independence.
