Of course, they don\u2019t care, because our rulers do not  actually believe in anything other than power. They profess various  ideologies at different times, but only use these ideologies to push  their agenda that exists totally independently from the ideologues.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If Trump doesn\u2019t win our issue will be basic survival.
