Bad government is despised. Good government is loved. The best government is unnoticed.
“When the Master governs, the people are hardly aware that he exists. Next best is a leader who is loved. Next, one who is feared. The worst is one who is despised.
If you don’t trust people, you make them untrustworthy.
The Master doesn’t talk, he acts. When his work is done, the people say, “Amazing: we did it, all by ourselves!” – Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching
And we have the “you didn’t build that” lady running for President? Well fair is fair. I despise her.

This is why the republican party is always trying to stop minorities from voting. In my state the republican fascist police state of arizona the only person convicted of voter fraud was a woman who voted for romney twice in 2012 in arizona and utah because she said romney needed evey vote! Three republicans convicted of felonies voted ;but since they only voted for romney once they were not prosecuted.
Reminds me of Reagan’s line about how easy it was to get things done if you don’t worry about not getting credit.
