I believe that our politicians are just trying to make as much money for themselves as possible and they don't actually care about America or Americans at all, and this has been the case for maybe the past 50 years or so.

I further believe that future historians will look back on the past 300 or so years as being occupied by two very different Americas: a true America, founded in 1776, and some kind of oligarchic scam that still called itself America for the brand recognition but was in reality a completely different entity.
