48. You nailed it! The role of government is to solve our country's problems and improve the lives of

all Americans, or at least it should be.

Democratic politicians do try to solve our country's problems. Just look at Obamacare, social security, the infrastructure bill, the American Rescue Plan Act, and much, much more.

But the only problem Republican politicians try to solve is the problem of getting themselves reelected. And they discovered that a sure-fire way to get Republican voters and people who don't pay much attention to politics to vote Republican is to scare the crap out of them.

But now they have a dilemma: People are becoming more afraid of getting shot at the mall, at the bank, at school, and so on, than they are afraid of immigrants crossing the border illegally and of women getting abortions.
