Sorry, but I'm actually a bit of a patriot who cares about his country, so I don't want to run away when it is being dismantled by thugs. Why shouldn't it be the criminal billionaires and politicians that move? They're the minority.

Do you believe in the rule of law?

Do Americans? Really? You’re used to agreeing among yourselves, and they are in the majority. A landslide majority.

You are not the America you think you are.

*I* believe in the rule of law, but I don't think it's actively being enforced in the country that I love. I won't pretend that America has ever been the place that we pretend to be, but there have always been people who believe in its promise. We will never achieve our potential with fatalistic defeatism. We need the common will of the people to push us in the right direction, and that doesn't happen if we just run away when things get hard.
