America was supposed to be different.
One key way America was supposed to be different: Rule of law applied to everyone the same. And only laws that protect individual rights, as defined in the Bill of Rights. In short: objective law. Today, The Party (Democrats and RINOs) violate this principle entirely. Laws are applied only to dissenters and critics of The Party. Regulatory agencies make up laws as they go along, applying them by the dictates of power. Laws are passed and enforced when it serves the financial and ideological interests of The Party, without any regard whatsoever to individual rights.
Many of us think America is still a free country. By this standard, we no longer are. The Party rules as it sees fit, and — with no consequences for past malfeasance — simply bides its time until Donald Trump exits power. You will discover just how true this is, at that time.
