Part 7/8:
The concluding remarks address the broader historical context—America as a nation of immigrants fleeing authoritarian regimes and promises of better lives.

There’s a suspicion that America might be increasingly electing leaders and supporting policies that resemble the very oppressive systems our ancestors fled from, threatening the nation’s identity as a land of opportunity and individual freedom.
