The current situation in St. Louis shows the country and the world how dysfunctional the local, state and federal government is with US. There is a lack of accountability with our leaders and an inability to be open and honest about their motives. It seems acceptable to respect everyone's personal lives, but if we are electing them to do the right thing for ALL of us, it seems acceptable they need to be transparent about ALL their governing.
Government exists for the protection of The People, that's US. When government exists for the people with the most money, that's fascism, a bribe-based system of paying the most to get what they want, even if 99% of the rest of US don't want it to work like that.
We, as a People, deem fascism as inappropriate and illegitimate power, and our government is only as legitimate as its actions, therefore, if our government persists with fascist actions, OUR GOVERNMENT IS NO LONGER LEGITIMATE until we correct it. Some governments call that treason, but it is no longer treason once said government has been proven illegitimate. When whistleblowers are federally prosecuted, and murderers, thieves and those loyal to them are granted immunity, it means those willing to tell the truth about the illegitimate actions are punished for proving the government's illegitimacy.
Like any system, we just need an update. It's time for Democracy ver. 2.0, where we get to craft our government with WIN-WIN solutions and laws instead of the current litigious system of, "if I win, you lose." The government must understand how to EMPATHIZE with the rest of US (and the world), or what's the point of agreeing to be governed by it?
