about themselves and the country. We are not a country of values and integrity.
We are a violent, racist, misogynistic society.
We do not value education, healthcare, voting rights, equal rights, safety.
We are not an advanced society.
And our leadership does not represent the people, but the elite. Our country is ruled by oligarchy.
