Today, if you say something about the nation, people immediately try to associate you with some ideology – left, right or something else. This has become a phenomenon across the country, which is an unfortunate situation because these are the mechanics of destroying a democracy.

Earlier, I used to see this in the United States and feel, “What kind of democracy is this?” There, people are already committed to being either a Democrat or a Republican. No matter what happens, they will only vote for their party.

Representative Maxine Waters, the top Democrat on the Financial Services Committee, predicted Wednesday that she and Chairman Patrick McHenry would soon have a deal on legislation regulating stablecoins, and said she’s pushing for marijuana banking legislation as well.
