From what I see, ‘angry people’ are real. And people on both sides of the political spectrums are angry.
I may be a pessimist, but I just don’t see it could be resolved through regular political process, not any more.
We could easily do without regulatory offices in rural areas (planning, building, zoning, etc.), public education employees and many more. Federal pork to state and local governments should be outlawed. It’s the tie that turns too many more toward socialism.
