How do you feel about your government?

My country is at a historic low and in its terminal phase. The government is complete and utter garbage, but it's symptomatic of both a garbage electorate, and a poison pill design from the days of its founding. A country that gave a pass to slavery, and put in place long-term mechanisms to enable that pass (which today foster tyranny of the minority and fascism), was never designed to last for millennia. The US has always had an expiration date from day one. Our current decline into fascism is the natural, inevitable trajectory of that design and a perennially irrational and misinformed or uninformed electorate that seems to enjoy constantly taking one step forward followed by two steps backward, over and over like Groundhog Day.

Humans do not deserve this planet. The malignant tribalism underpinning the division of the planet into countries at all is your first clue that humans are not worthy. You get the government you deserve.
@BlueGreenGrey This is probably one of the most pessimistic posts I've seen on this site. I feel awful for you.
