So is it fair to say that most of the American people, dissatisfied with their political system, are afraid to actually change it?
Don't take me wrong, I absolutely understand this, and appreciate you taking the time to answer to my questions.
Some are afraid, others don't know how, others feel like there's no use in trying. A whole lot buy into the American exceptionalism propaganda that gets shoved down our throats from birth and think there's nothing wrong with this country and that the people who are suffering deserve it, and that the people who want to make it better are literally trying to destroy it for Satan, or for the Jews, or for the reptilians.
That's sad in all cases. Thank you for taking the time to share your point of view.
