Places like the Soviet Union and East Germany were amateurs. Plenty of people in those places wanted to get out. Here in America we’ve built a society that is arguably more intrusive, but people think it’s awesome and seem to want much more of it. 81 million people voted for it. Or, if they didn’t, then 350 million people accepted the lie that 81 million people voted for it. It’s all good. Government is my best friend.
