We've failed him, we've failed the Palestinians, we've failed our immigrants and refugees, we've failed our LGBTQ+ people and people of color, we've failed our poor. The story of America is a story of one failure after another.

Sometimes I have this thought that feels like a realization that it was never even about "the people" or "freedom" to begin with.

It was about creating an in-group and implementing a caste system under the deceptive guise of democracy. What it's never actually been is democratic or free.
