When you use the term “the government” are you thinking of all levels of government?

Asked by JLeslie (65412points) February 22nd, 2021 from iPhone

When I lived in Tennessee I learned that at least some of the people who lived there used the term “the government” to mean the central/federal government. Local government was different.

This was an eye opener for me.

So, does that mean when Republicans talk about smaller government they really are only focusing on the fed? While Democrats perceive government as all levels of government and that is the miscommunication or misunderstanding between the two groups?
