edit I'll answer your question before you ask it. The gov't is interested in continuing to govern, it doesn't care about the stupidity scale.
It was the founding principle of the American government. People forget that.
I think maybe you misread my point. Our democratic voters have deeply internalized the idea that governments exist to legislate morality and behavior, and our modern government has internalized the concept as well. The American government never perfectly reflected the concept of freedom expressed in the quote from the video, but it was intended to and it used to to a much greater degree than today.
