The chinese say it is better not to have an enemy as you sleep better without an enemy. A real enemy wants you dead. You have to live in fear. Its them or you.
Americans are soft,lazy,and easily frightened. They have no capacity for sacrifice. Thus they are losing everything.
Voting is not really politics. You get what you pay for and americans arent really willing to pay for anything so they get nothing.
Its easier to resist in the beginning then the end.
