Are Democrats right about Government control?

I'm starting to think that in 1, maybe 2, generations the majority of the population will
be OK with being told what to do, as long as they are provided basic needs, like Food,
housing, and health care. I think many people will give up, and give in, to the government
control, that many of us are fighting against. As a baby boomer, I have never received
unemployment, food stamps, or anything else I didn't work for. I believe the majority of
kids in school now, that don't have parents that help them, will be dumbed down to the
point of letting the Government control their lives, much like China.

It's actually the opposite. The more people's material needs are met, the more freedom they demand. That's why the freest countries in the world are Social Democracies. And of course, here in America, it's the Republicans that are banning books and trying to ban gender affirming care, even for adults.
