The government is just a reflection of the culture/people.

I mean those are problems but the rot is much deeper. The desire to control and use violence to do so is at the root. The idea that we all have to live the same and if we don't well then that has to be fixed is only solvable by separation by ideology. Neither side seems open to this idea. My concern is open civil war. I'd rather see "live and let live" or at worst we're gonna go our own way. Good luck with your future.
