The social contract: citizens will be good citizens and pay their taxes while the government will protect the citizens and enforce the laws.
The government protects itself while crime against ordinary people surges.
Nonviolent January 6 participants are having the book thrown at them for entering a government building.
Violent Antifa people who smashed private property and hurt everyday citizens have often been not prosecuted.
Cities like San Fran and Seattle have gone to hell in a handbasket.
Seattle let CHAZ take over several city blocks and the governor celebrated the attack on the property rights of ordinary Americans.
The border is chaos.
Unsolved murders are at a record high.
But we don't have Epstein's client list getting prosecuted let alone made public. He was apparently guilty of trafficking minors to who? No one, apparently.
We all know Epstein didn't kill himself and the government knew what he was up to years before they acted. They wanted it swept under the rug, because it was government leaders and big business leaders that were his criminal clients. The girl victims were expendable.
The college kid who leaked classified Pentagon information about Ukraine is going to get hammered by the court system, but the media is dutifully silent that those leaks showed the government was lying to us.
Riots in Ferguson Missouri and Minneapolis Minnesota were often encouraged by some, Kamala helped bail out rioters. During those riots the government went to great lengths to protect its own government property while letting the mobs attack private property.
In Baltimore, the rioters were given "space to destroy" so long as they stayed away from government buildings.
The government knew what Larry Nassar was up to before they acted. Lazy.
Government agents like the IRS are becoming armed to the teeth at the same time they try to weaken the 2nd Amendment.
Julian Assange reported the truth on US war crimes and now his life is ruined instead of being lauded.
If you criticize the war in Ukraine, you're a Putin puppet.
If you question the election of someone who could
possibly be a threat to the system, like Trump 2016, you're a patriot.
If you question the election of someone who is the system, like Biden 2020, you're a threat to democracy.
The government is devote in its protection of itself and is barely concerned about the safety of its own citizens.

We may test the hypothesis that the State is largely interested in protecting itself rather than its subjects by asking: which category of crimes does the State pursue and punish most intensely—those against private citizens or those against itself? The gravest crimes in the State's lexicon are almost invariably not invasions of private person or property, but dangers to its own contentment, for example, treason, desertion of a soldier to the enemy, failure to register for the draft, subversion and subversive conspiracy, assassination of rulers and such economic crimes against the State as counterfeiting its money or evasion of its income tax. Or compare the degree of zeal devoted to pursuing the man who assaults a policeman, with the attention that the State pays to the assault of an ordinary citizen. Yet, curiously, the State's openly assigned priority to its own defense against the public strikes few people as inconsistent with its presumed raison d'etre.
