Too many Americans believe the best type of government is an ineffective one, incompetent and weak. Before I came to this country myself I used to believe that was just a joke, maybe the mentality of a small number of nutcases that occasionally took over a national park and nothing more. It was only after meeting some otherwise reasonable people did I come to realize how deep into the American psyche that runs. Every group contains these 'never trust the government' types, all with their own reasons as to why and all ignoring any positive things government brings. As if thee people grow up being told that something bad will happen to them, personally, if their own government isn't brought down every chance they get. Saddest part of all: It hasn't stopped the things they fear from happening... America is a police state without any of the social benefits!

That's the thing about people that make jokes at the expense of those in power. Many times, they know MORE about what's happening than the very court itself. Ever thought of court jesters as mere idiots who could tell jokes and juggle? Remember they were part of the few that knew how to read and write in latin, knew numerous songs and stories by memory, knew a lot of physical tricks... AND were the only ones that could make fun of a king in his face. Jesters in the middle ages were the political comedians of ours. This historical fact is the reason the "Sad Jester" (Stańczyk) painting is one of my favorites. He's the only one in the court that knows things are utterly fucked up, he's crushed emotionally behind the scenes and staring at a void... while the king and the court celebrate in the party, blind to their failures and to their imminent collapse.

@Krysty Cavallo it's funny,.

Even when the virus broke out in Italy, we were still accepting foreign travel with no quarentine (except Chinese travel). All this time, when we knew about the extent of the virus, the president denied, on live TV, that coronavirus was a threat to the US at all. He said that we don't need to do anything to prepare because it won't reach here.

Well, we used to have people in place to deal with issues like viruses, but a certain President decided to fire every one of them, and it goes back from day 1 of his Presidency. Apparently, after Obama left, he set up meetings and briefings that would have prepared Trump's administration for situations just like this, but instead of going to them and learning important things, Trump fired all of Obama's people and never went to any the briefings. So, we absolutely had measures in place to deal with pandemics, but they were sabotaged from day 1 of Trump's presidency.
