Republican (fascist/socialist) former governor Ronald W. Reagan, of the republic of california, says in an interview with the New York Times, “Government exists to protect us from each other. Where government has gone beyond its limits is in deciding to protect us from ourselves.”
Postscript: As president, Reagan declared “War on Drugs” not once, but twice—protecting “us from ourselves.”
