I’ll go. I’m still proud of every American who has held in there through these 8 years and not given up on turning things around. We know what it is to live free and despite all the obstacles ahead there is still places that you can experience it.

    It’s kind of interesting that America does this thing where we punish ourselves.

    And by punishing ourselves I mean the rich people bond together to torment the poor people by flaunting their wealth and exacerbating their poverty until the poors scream and struggle.

    Typically this happens while natural disasters are also happening like the dust bowl or when earthquakes, fires and plagues beleaguer the nation.

    We do this in order to make ourselves feel better in the long run by overcoming that and returning to a point where the rich people are not bonding together so tightly and the poor people are not so oppressed that they would rather die than continue living.

    We are pretty good at that, and it has sustained this economy for at least the last 120 years.

    But aside for that, I’m proud of the fact that the poors persevere, and that eventually the rich will unmake themselves, and we will inherit the earth.
