Don't worry!
This is a minor setback in the long history of this great nation.
OK, a major one. But we've been in worse predicaments. The whole country split in two, you know. And we came within a hair's breadth of losing WWII.
We shall rid ourselves of this vile blight.
We shall persevere.
We shall defy the regime!
NOTICE:
You are now living under a government that wants you sick, ignorant and docile. One that no longer cares about protecting the environment, or fostering an educated upcoming generation, a government that has traded in science for Bible verses. It is is no longer looking down the road at long-term prosperity but sees only as far as next quarter's shareholder reports.
This is not the America we grew up in. This is not how it was supposed to go. What can we do to help topple this regime? Defy it!
