The majority of Americans DO want to be truly free but think it's hopeless. Given the choice most Americans would want less government (other than socialists who aren't even worth discussing). I value the vote and goverment answers to the people, not the other way around. The people didn't vote for larger government, government got larger because they didn't vote. That doesn't mean people want larger government by a long shot. Most have stopped voting because they realize that it doesn't matter if they vote for a Republican or a Democrat, they'll get the same thing either way. Their rights will be trampled upon more and more, they'll lose more and more of their income, and they'll be less and less free. Since most were educated in public schools and taught with a government agenda, most don't even realize that they are BORN with rights. They think government gives them rights. Most people in America are like zombies, they're walking around without a clue as long as they have microwave dinners and television, they believe they're free. They're completely unaware of what's happening in the world around them and they won't get the truth from television news, especially Fox News.
The rational approach is to return America to a Constitutional Republic and then we can start educating people on what real freedom is, and what mistakes were made. We can teach them about the actual meaning of words like "freedom", "liberty", and "responsibility". The rights of individuals are the highest rights of all and no group of individuals has anymore rights than a single one.
