The "land of the free"? Whoever told you that is your enemy.

They call it the American dream, because you’d have to be asleep to believe it.

Now something must be done

About vengeance, a badge, and a gun

'Cause I'll rip the mic, rip the stage, rip the system

I was born to rage against 'em

Now action must be taken

We don't need the key, we'll break in

Actually, members of congress have been outed many times as accepting small "legal" bribes. I recall back with the fight over net neutrality that some were selling out for mere thousands of dollars.

I'm a bit out of the loop with current affairs lately. Can someone provide me with some context?

California Senator (US, not State) barged into a press briefing being given by Kristi Noem (US Secretary of Homeland Security), without announcing, at first, who he was. Security, can't say who exactly, pushed him out of the room, threw him down and cuffed him.

One one hand, he caused a fuss on purpose. OTOH, we got a solid look at fascism in action.
