There’s an old joke about the Soviet Union, which involves an American and Russian comparing their homelands —
American: “In my country, we have free speech. I can go to Washington and say, “Down with America!” and no one will arrest me.
Russian: “But it is the same in my country. I can go to Red Square and say, “Down with America!” and no one will arrest me.
It’s a 20th century joke. The joke is very obsolete now that we have become a Stalinist country.
All it means is no senate run and you folks must prefer Shaheen.
The new joke is that now the elite citizens of the USA; black athletes, movie and rock stars, daughters and sons of wealthy upper white middle class who went to Ivy League and top tier universities and colleges, journalists for big media and owners and workers from the big tech companies can all to to Washington (or anywhere) and yell, “Down with America!” and not only NOT be arrested...
Hell, Pelosi will let you sit in the gallery during F. Joe Biden’s State of the Union speech.
My version of an old Russian joke:
In America TV programs you!
