The folks living between the rivers didn't like Native American Indians, until they learned their American government could do to them what it did to the First Nation Peoples.
As a result those driven out from between the rivers, and later generations, don't tend to trust or like government.
Christians should be that way. I know Paul said all governments are ordained of God. But writing to Rome, I think he said that to keep the Roman authorities from getting riled at him for converting the pagans away from worshiping their gods.
Besides, maybe God ordained governments back then, but not now, here in America, where our democratic system of government determines who our leaders are.
