Clinton and Trump are two sides of the same authoritarian coin
For those who seek freedom there is a Libertarian optionThe subjugation to government fostered by socialism is often likened to voluntary slavery (communism is forced slavery). McKinley County just might be America’s poster child for failed socialist policies of helpless dependency on government programs culminating only in equality of restraint and servitude.
