That is called Liberty.
And when the people fear the government isn't that tyranny?

I agree with you. The government has the power that the people gave it. We also have a right to shut it down if it no longer functions in the way it was originally designed to do. How should we go about tackling this bull? What we have at the present is a chimp that thinks he is some sort of royalty and that the laws of the land, laws that he helped create don't apply to him, but they DO apply to everyone else. How could we have let things get so out of control? Now what should we do about the chimp???

If people fear the government they are uneducated. The government is in OUR control. If you just sit there and don't vote, and don't educate yourself about issues and candidates, and don't take actions based on your opinions and beliefs, then you have no one to blame but yourself.
An educated, active public is what we need, and any elected politician would fear that, because the public and the politicians would know that the elected officials are accountable to the public and that they serve because WE select them.

No.
The government should not fear the people and the people should not fear the government. They should work together in harmony.

We, the people designated our rights to others instead of defending them individually and as good neighbors
