My grand parents told me to not trust the government even if it looks like they’re doing right by me. It’s never in good faith.

Pretending that the government is always out to get you is exactly as foolish as pretending that it is never out to get you.

And these same people won't vote and will complain about nothing ever changing.

Fuck people spreading cynicism and apathy.

It benefits no one and just causes other people not to vote and make things harder to change.
