5. "They" took Us out of the "We" a long time ago

In my little town I would say 4 out of 5 trucks have "We the People" vinyl stickers in the back windows. Big ones. Do you think those that display these are doing so to be inclusive? "We" means everyone regardless, right? As the framers of the preamble may have intended. Okay maybe the framers did not actually work to include everyone but the spirit of unanimity was intended, maybe hoped for.
I do not know...maybe it has always been us and them.
