      That’s because us regular people aren’t in control of the country. Our leadership is akin to what you see in professional wrestling, you have “the heel” and “the face.” One group pretends to be the bad guys and the other pretends to be the good guys, but they’re really all friends who hang out in the same circles behind the scenes. What they present to the public is all an act.
