You and Alex are neighbors. All is fine until you have a conflict. It's time to resolve it. You can't, you are not capable of resolving it. What can you do? Call the government to solve it for you. And so it all begins...

Because you can't negotiate with Alex or Alex with you, you want to hurt him and you get the boys that have the guns. They come at his home, see if he broke one of the 1trilion rules that are called laws and done. He pays a fine, or more depending of what they find.

Now Alex, hates you, because you harmed him, so he will want to get back to you, you can't respect all the laws all the time. When the time comes, he will call the boys on you. After it happens, you hate him even more, and so you do it again, and Alex again, and so on.

What just happened here?

Because of your lack of ability to negotiate peacefully you created the DEMAND for the government. The more hate there is in a community, between people, the more the NEED for government increases.

What happens when the people in government start to see that? If we have greater conflict our powers increase, the money we tax goes up! What will they be incentivized to do? Solve the problems?

No, they will keep the appearance that they try, while secretly praying it doesn't get solved, because if it gets solved they are out of a job, and you know no one wants that.

What has this have to do with Trump and Hillary? A lot.

Trump and Hillary are you and Alex, they represent the two types of neighbors. They fight, they want to have the power to force the other to submit to their ideas and course of action. In a system that you allowed to expand, to such monstrous power, the one that get's the throne will have such power, such control that they could blow the other neighbor away completely, for good. This is the inevitable end to a violent conflict without a solution. One side is ultimately destroyed.

Nobody will win from this because it's not about Trump and Hillary, it's about violence, power, and control. You built the machine of destruction and you wanted to crush the ones you disliked. The irony is, it will crush you too.

The sad part is that, when you allow the government to reach a certain tipping point, it starts to perpetuate itself, without your hate to fuel it. It will create the hate itself, all the race baiting, taxing, war, prisons. They will create resent. Every time you get tired of hating on Alex, the government will step in and fund a program to see Alex as a misogynist, a sexist, homophobe, racist. Reminding you that you should hate, forever, never understand, never negotiate, never love. They will do that to Alex as well, don't worry, they need only one of you, and they succeed.

We have to understand that Trump and Hillary are only the best matches for the way Americans feel.On the right, for too long stepped on, ridiculed, shamed, dismissed as stupid by the verbally abusive neighbor. On the left, too afraid to lose power, take a step back and negotiate.

Look at the last debate. Trump was angry, shouting at Hillary to face the problems he was raising, what did she do? She completely ignored him, smiling the whole time, not beeing able to empathize, living in her own world. They do look like an old couple if I think about it. Maybe once Trump said he agreed with her on something, sad to see this inability to negotiate a common course of action, not for them but for the country at large, they have ideas that resonate in tens of millions of minds.

The question is, when will Americans shrink the size of the government to the 1% of the economy that it once was? Don't hold your breath, they are too busy fighting. What a waste of time, entertaining, I don't say. All we need to do is to shrink the government out of existence, put the gun down and talk!
