Local government is great but we're a pretty small township.
National government is fucked and can go fuck itself. Packed full of incompetent morons, sycophants, opportunists, grifters, and brainworms, and riddled with hate - racism, homophobia, misogyny, transphobia, ableism, etc. It's a smorgasbord of vile shitheads who never should've gotten anywhere near this much power.
Local government is somewhat contentious, but it seems like it's moving in the right direction.
National government does not.
Local - I guess they're doing ok? I don't hear much about them but the sewer system and roads are working so they have to be doing something right.
National - I'm fatigued with them. I barely have any energy left to care what these useless cunts get up to.
City: Am happy, but it sucks that government abused the legal system to jail our municipality mayor.
Country: hell no, a big driver is previously mentioned reason but has a lot more reasons behind. Economy is fucked, corruption and injustice is everywhere, the government refuses to call off an early election despite 24 million people being in support of it, and the leading opposition party refuses to initiate it by resigning their parliament members, despite having more and more of their municipalities threatened and arrested over time.
