I kind of see your point. It's true, but in a country as large as ours, with so few real "communities" anymore, how would we take care of those who need it without some sort of ..... well organizing, funded, governing structure?If you think Republicans/conservatives don't do the same, there is something wrong with you. They "force" their ideas, including dismembering healthcare for millions, on society, too. And closing the door on refugees. Etc.Democrats are not the demons you imagine.
Of course they're not. But they do have a radically different conception of the role of government in society. They see government as an all-purpose tool to force change on society. That's the problem.
Republicans do it too, I agree. But 'dismembering healthcare' is just undoing a radical societal change that the Democrats pushed through on a party line vote. Not a good example.
The point here is that many people, Democrats and Republicans alike, have come to see government as the way we "implement" society - and that's dangerous. It's the zeitgeist of totalitarian government.
