This privilege is something that voters can take advantage of to try and keep people like Hitler out of office. When we elect the people serving in government positions, we are–if we have some minimal level of civic engagement, responsible for who those people are. This responsibility, if taken on, invalidates the vague "government is bad" viewpoint.
