My 2 Canadian pesos

[UltraBudgie]

Spent most of my life listening to Americans talking about their republic, their freedom, their guns and it’s now all coming to an end

How did you lose it?

I'm gonna guess, either by getting people so afraid of imagined oppression that they choose fascism, or by convincing them that their freedoms have already been so infringed that they believe it, and become too afraid to actually exercise them.

Oh wait -- Russia and China!
