To quote Hameed Darweesh (Iraqi) 'Americanis the land of Freedom'
And that freedom is being threatened, by Presidents, Bush and his 'Patriot Act', Obama and his drone campaign (extra judicial killings of American citizens), and by Trump's actions designed to divide americans against themselves.
By the media, selling fear. Creating a mass distraction to more money, dividing the public into bipartisan camps, those for us and against us.
It is threatened by the gerrymandering of electoral districts, and the creation of blue vs red places to live. By the local parties, and the constant simplification of policy into exactly two camps.
It is threatened mostly by the monied interests, be they media - as described above - or military-industrial complex - which pushes a global arms trade and hawkish foreign policy - or the corporate lobbiests - who care only for their shareholder's profits and not the people.
But especially by the Trump campaign. He's filed to run in 2020 means you can now donate to his campaing, you know, in case you wanted to bribe the man...
