Well when the people are the sun and the government is the earth the people are the Sun.
You're stupid and so is your analogy. Humans do not have to all move in lockstep to thrive. In fact, history has proven over and over that humanity does better acting with autonomy. The story of Monty Python in Search of the Holy Grail is just one example. A better one is the US v. the USSR in the 1920s. Americans thrived while Stalin killed tens of millions because he couldn't figure out how to feed everyone.
Stalin assumed absolute power. Coolidge did not. He allowed people to act, and people like Ford, Chrysler, Durant, Edison, Pullman, Salk, Fuller, Curtiss, the Wrights, Eastman, Westinghouse, Carnegie, Birdseye, and countless others did, with a combined energy and imagination that no one person like Stalin could ever hope to match. That's your fallacy disproven, right there.
That's not some brainless bot's analogy designed to limit choices. That's history. Proven results.
Concentrated power kills. Autonomy lifts humanity out of the muck.
Trump isn't making America great again because he can't. Only the American people can. Only the people ever have.
