> Anyone who lives in a country should feel supported and cared for by their government. That's literally why it exists.
That would be nice, but that is not our world. A country and by extension a government is a historical institution created by a governing class: a monarchy or created through war land boundary. The citizens of a nation, until the US attempted, did not have any say in their country's destiny. That was entirely controlled by the ruling class.
The concept of a nation authentically caring for its own citizens is completely modern.
