Inbred, toothless, poor old man yelling at the top of his voice on top of some hill in Mississippi flashing his finger to some satellite in the sky, yelling “I hate America?” Sure, he’s “free.” But nobody really cares about his “freedom.”
The moment we make a dent, a tangible difference in opposing something that matters - their cash flow, or foreign policy, for instance…
…you get your bank accounts frozen, passport seized, and oh so many things that you cherished for being so proudly, staunchly American become meaningless.
