It is an idea imposed on you by people who want you to believe something that is incontrovertibly opposed to reality. You have power. You have power to build a family for yourself. You have power to build a career. You have power to read what you want, to listen to the music you want. You have the power to build the community you want. And if you so choose, you have the power to help build the country that could ensure a rich and exciting future.
You can choose not to use that power, but you have it.
For better or worse, you have a lot of power. If you go to a big protest a single person can start smashing windows, throwing molotovs and single handedly start a riot, domino effecting national guard to come in.
You can spread awareness and educate your community. You can attend town halls and public meetings.
Also, I wanna put a link here for following the Flock License plate reader public meetings in your towns.
