Depends upon who Harry Reid thinks of when he says "we"

In this quote, Harry Reid may be giving away his game

“These people think they’re patriots, and they’re not. If they’re patriots, we’re in big trouble.”

Their game is to make themselves the patriots and those who oppose them as the traitors.  The truth is that if you support the Constitution, you are a patriot.  If you think the current crop of politicians as the "government", that is wrong.   The Constitution is sovereign, not the officials who are merely temporary custodians of power.  That's a distinction that needs to be made.
