Tried and convicted not by a jury of peers but by corporate media with a vested interest in serving the status quo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Followed closely by the state run\/funded social media censoring them and their attempts to defend themselves.

Being branded an enemy of the people. As determined by the special interests who run the USA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We have to wonder why these people ensconced in relatively safe places were willing to take the risk? Easy: There really was no other choice. The ruling political class is not interested the plight of their people, and there is a chance in hell Trump will keep his word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The job of government is to provide basic things like affordable food, housing, education, healthcare, and an economy with the possibility for average citizens to see improvements in their living conditions.  Simple but a lot of western governments have been looking outward instead of inward. Leading from the top where the concerns of the few outweigh the needs of the many. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>People from all walks of life are willing to take the risk that Trump might keep his word over the certainty the ruling political class will not. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a
