some of the enemies the US government has made doing stupid, evil, corrupt crap over the last 70 years, have decided to avoid direct military confrontation, and instead use cultural warfare as a means of destabilization. which means, they are coming after you. Or did you actually think all that wild shit you saw over the last decade that came out of 'nowhere' actually came out of nowhere? They have Thinktanked the hell out of how to use our freedom as the primary attack vector.
We need to get smarter. We are the target.
