The real problem with this kind of person is that they refuse to accept that this is just what America always was. The freedoms that it was ostensibly founded on were only ever actually supposed to be for it's most wealthy & established participants.
Yep. I agree 100%. Chuds have a deep emotional attachment to a fantasy of America that has only ever existed in their heads. Breaking this fantasy, which is such a key part of their identity and how they see the world, would be very difficult.
