You live in a complex nation, one of the most complex nations
on earth. You don't have to think about all of the complicated computer
programs that get your groceries to market on time, you don't have
to think about the vast supply of metrics that creates and make
farming and harvesting equipment work or that get your trains buses
on the road and keeps things on time. You don't have to think about
the government labs that keep unsafe products off your store shelves
or work to identify and where possible solve for diseases/pandemics.
But, whether you know it or not these things are the product of how
our government has been run over the last 250 years. You don't even
have to read past first-grade level or think more deeply than comic book
level to enjoy the benefits of the separation of church and state and the
empowerment that the bill of rights get you. But you do need to vote and
cast your vote for people who are not caught telling you lies! Otherwise,
all the benefits of a free democratic republic will be lost to totalitarians
who are interested only in their hold on power by any means necessary
and not interested in any ways benefiting you.
