@thor Americans don't trust their government much less get on their knees to please said government.

If Americans weren't outspoken on politics, we wouldn't have survived. From the beginning of the nation to the present day it has been a protection against tyranny.

We had a massive Nazi Party before their counterparts in Europe started invading countries. It was political outrage that resulted in them being hunted down like the rats they were.

Even with death threats from the government, it's very difficult to make Americans shut up. The day our politics become tame is going to be the end of our Union.
