You may ask "why then does America not rise up against its obviously increasingly tyrannical government?" The answer is that a tyrannical government cannot exist in the US because we have guns, and therefore freedom. Americans have guns and therefore nothing to worry about.
Yes, it may appear to the untrained, socialism-poisoned foreign mind that the US is collapsing into some kind of Christofascist white supremacist kleptarchy but you have to remember that Americans mistrust government but trust God and the free market, which is why we put God on our money.
Rather what's happening in the US is the ultimate expression of American liberty. We're casting off the chains of the Constitution itself and building a new nation. One where we can live free from the consequences of our actions like the Founding Fathers intended. And by "we" I mean "they," the ultimate form of Americans, white billionaire pedophiles.
But it's all fine as long as the rest of us can shoot watermelons on the back 40.
It's simply the price we have to pay to live in the only truly free nation in the world. Tyranny can't happen here because our government cowers in fear of America's militias and its armed populace.
