Have some of Greensboro’s political and business interests aligned to create short term gains to defend political legacies and faltering financial interests regardless of long term consequences to their community?

The first truth is that the liberty of a democracy is not safe

to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic state itself.

That, in essence, is fascism,

ownership of government by an individual

by a group or by any other controlling power.
