There doesn't seem to be a similar constituency in politics: I would love to see most people having the attitude that politics can be the solution to some problems (national defense, protection of liberty and property), but can also be the source of problems.
In Politics, the left believes that government is the solution to all of life's problems and conservatives believe government is the cause of all life's problems.
Obviously, I exaggerate. But not by much.
I have yet to see a problem so small that there isn't a Democrat willing to throw an offender in jail over it.
