So we don't notice that they are picking our pockets, that They are closing our public schools, that they are gutting our healthcare, that they're raising taxes on all of us while they cut taxes for themselves. It is the oldest strategy in the world. Divide and conquer. They have literally changed how we talk to each other. They have changed how we learn about the world. (09:46–09:56)
