15. It depends on whether they are successful pushing whatever boogeyman they

come up with.

Ever since I was born, America was fighting against something. It served to galvanize us as a country. Sometimes the threat was real and made sense. Russia has always been a nemesis. Or the leaders of Russia. Not the Russian people.

Sometimes the real threat was so important to those who were ruling this country that they led us into a senseless red herring war. Like what GWB did after 9/11 to deflect us from his buddies, the Saudis. The Republicans were quite useful in drowning out our side by defaming those of us who were watching with clear eyes.

Since then, they have been trying to throw everything at us to continue the defamation and degradation. Unfortunately, some of the American people would rather listen to them, than to suffer the risk of walking alone in their conservative circles.
