This seems too defeatist.
People have been fighting for freedom in the United States for 250 years.
The Revolution.
Abolition.
Freeing the slaves.
Freedom of Speech in WWI.
Women's rights.
The Civil Rights movement.
Gay rights.
On and on.
.
100,000 Japanese people were locked up in camps in WWII.
That must have seemed like the end of the world, but it was over in a couple of years.
And then freedom advanced again.
.
I don't see any reason for us to give up now!
