"America isn't easy. America is advanced citizenship. You gotta want it bad, 'cause it's gonna put up a fight. It's gonna say "You want free speech? Let's see you acknowledge a man whose words make your blood boil, who's standing center stage and advocating at the top of his lungs that which you would spend a lifetime opposing at the top of yours. You want to claim this land as the land of the free? Then the symbol of your country can't just be a flag; the symbol also has to be one of its citizens exercising his right to burn that flag in protest. Show me that, defend that, celebrate that in your classrooms. Then, you can stand up and sing about the "land of the free". - The American President (1995)

Mic drop with that quote -- I agree with it it 100% and I'm incredibly happy that I live in a democracy. However, I've lost faith in people close to me who can sit and back a man who so blindly spews out hate speech. It's disheartening to say the least.

Also, she mentioned that your current project is based on your X competency so we can't change it.
