    politicians are not the government

    Wh- what? Show me a wikipedia page for a government official that doesn’t have the word “politician” as part of their description.

    people are the government

    Maybe in an ideal democracy, but America (the country this comic is referring to by criticizing Reagan) is a republic


  • mm not quite, businessmen bribe donate to politicians so that they can be above the law and profit off citizens anyway they want to.

    Although what you said is true for businesses that sell to the military. That would look more like a businessman shoveling money into the government’s mouth (aka bribing to get government contracts) and then eating the government’s shit
