sheep always want to feel safe

They are not taught that they themselves have a pivotal role in their own safety, and not an authority who will inevitably abuse the power given to them.

This is simple human nature. It is not a uniquely political thing.

Actually, I think the vast majority of Americans are well aware that this is almost entirely total bureaucratic BS. But, they seem unclear on what exactly they can do about it. So, what exactly should they do about it? That, I believe, is the real question here.
