People in the creepiest hellholes in the world 'get to vote'. Their elites - like ours - need to have their fat egos fed. What better way than the vote? Saddam Hussein claimed 98% of the vote. The creepy fat one in North Korea loves the vote - it allowed the shit to think he was loved. Same with the thugs in Iran.
It's not 'this elite' or 'that elite'... who cares? One group's as corrupt as the other.
The only thing we ( we the people) want from the puffed up 'used car salesmen types' in Washington DC is for them to protect the freedoms that matter to us: the freedoms granted by our Constitution. Freedoms that protect our rights as citizens. OUR freedom is based on the Constitution and the BILL OF RIGHTS. That's what 'we the citizens' are willing to die for.. Willingly.
That freeodom is the reason people of the world want to escape to our country. So THEY can be free from their puffed-up - lowlife - elites. The protection of citizen's rights.
Would I be willing to die to defend a bunch of elites? NO. I wouldn't be willing to get a bad cold to defend a bunch of elites. I wouldn't be willing to cross a street to defend a John Kerry. I wouldn't spend a nickel to defend a bunch of puffed-up liberal elites - OR ANY elites for that matter. Like you, this will be done for our children and grandchildren.
