4. There elite have no boundaries. They have homes in multiple
countries, their money & corporations offshore. Law barely applies to them.

The US (especially its Treasury, taxpayers and consumers) are thier cash cow, and they're gonna milk it for all its worth.

5. Patriotism is the only way the elites can get elected. And it costs
them nothing to deliver on. Their favorite program: tribal wars for the little guy. Keep them fighting at the local level and they will never life up their heads long enough to vote the ***holes out of office. So the culture of personal attacks has to start between all the little people.

6. Patriotism is a scam.
"Patriotism is the most foolish of passions, and the passion of fools." - Schopehauer

But, like Napoleon said about religion, "It's what keeps the poor from murdering the rich."
