Americans are increasingly living in fear of the opposing political party.  While the elites laugh and continue to enslave the populace even further because of this fear, Americans increasingly embrace their chains while asking them to be shortened, and all while dehumanizing those on a different plantation.
The fact is, none of us are free. We are all slaves to the same master – the political elites.  The only way to be free is to accept it and attempt to free others in the process.
