And on the topic of government, here is my two cents:

I rarely judge Congress or the President or any part of the government. Mainly because I will never know what they knew, never feel what they felt, and never think what they thought when they made their choices. I am not naive enough to use what I believe as a way to measure weather a politician does a "good" job or not. Using your own opinions as a compass to judge politicians is rather narcissistic and selfish. Sure, I may openly disagree with some things, but I never think they are doing a "bad" job or not as an elected official. It is not my call to make. They were elected by the people, and I usually don't waste my time getting angry over things they do. The country has been going fine for the past 200 plus years, and any problems that come up will be fixed in some way, as they always have, and always will. So i don't worry too much about things. Not to mention most people who bitch about politics don't know what they are talking about when it comes to how government/economics/politics/history works. You know who I mean.

And if you talk to me personally, you'll know i do get rather heated when talking about elections. That is a bit different, because what I say can change potential voters (I am not naive enough to think that it will change much anyway) ,where as bitching about people currently in office is a waste of time and I have better things to do. Also, I usually don't apply this "don't judge/argue because you are not in their shoes : )" logic to regular people i interact with, because they don't have legal authority over me, and I can actually discuss with them directly, whereas I had to go thru alot of trouble just to see the president with my own eyes. I am also not saying I follow my own advice perfectly or expect you to. Sometimes i worry about shit I can't change, humans have a hard time not doing so.

Tldr/General life advice: We can change very little in the world and our opinions are not very important in the grand scheme of things, so stop complaining about every major thing you have no control over.

Yeah. We have a puny, hopeless existence, no matter what we do.

But I still love complaining :3.

I'm one of those idiots you mentioned who has no idea how the government works, but waging war (like our government really loves to do) never does any good.
