How is the government forcing its preferences down the peoples throats (most notably in the EU regarding refugees) any different than what the Russian and Chinese governments do?
He is basically asking the right questions. As much as it pains me to say this, the Boomers are still, more or less running things, which I am definitely unhappy about. It looks like the Boomers are beginning to lose their death grip on American politics but not soon enough to prevent the US from doing anything really stupid.
