Also, it is far easier for any given “we” to say what “we” are against than what “we”want, because it only makes sense to be against things as they are (or can be parodied that way). It is easy and profitable to specify grievances, and it requires no responsibility for imagining or articulating what “we” would do differently (see: Obamacare). It is impossible to govern if government itself is “the problem” underlying every grievance.
