I used to think folks didn’t care about government. Now I know better — they just don’t understand it. And nobody bothered to explain it.
They hear politicians talk about tyranny and freedom like it’s a football game. But they don’t know what a bill looks like. They don’t know how a budget works. And it’s not their fault.
We took away the tools and gave them slogans.
If we want trust back, we have to rebuild understanding. We need to teach this stuff again — not as propaganda, but as truth. Clear, simple, respectful.
Because when people know how things work, they can see when something’s wrong. And when they see that, they might actually do something about it.
