You're absolutely wrong. Most Americans don't believe any such thing about the role of government, except a rather large minority of people who watch TV religiously. You're simply repeating what the medium of TV claims is the opinion of most people. According to them, most people are fascinated with the affairs of the British royals. I think that's such obvious nonsense as to be given no credence at all. Large MINORITY of people who watch TV religiously? And, oh yeah, publishers put pictures of the royals all over the covers of their magazines so they WON'T sell, right?
Most people I know don't approve of what government does.
Do you talk to anyone besides people who think as you do? I don't think you've been spending much time in the real world.
Of course you can pretend that I said I feel that people are imbeciles. What I said is still there for anyone to see, so you're doing yourself no favors by making delusional statements like that.
You're right, the statements are there for anyone who chooses to read.
Yes indeed, a minority which totals a few tens of millions is a large minority, but a minority nonetheless.
I talk to an awful lot of people and they all live in the real world. Pretending to be amazed at what I say hardly helps you make your point.
