V Spear: 我认为美国正处于一个危机时期，各种灾难接踵而至，人们对政府能否有效应对这些危机感到担忧。我强调了行动主义的重要性，认为即使是小城镇的抗议活动也能激励他人，并提醒人们他们并不孤单。此外，我对民主党提出了建议，认为他们应该倾听民意，承认错误，并让新的领导者出现，以更好地代表人民的价值观。 Sammy Sage: 我对美国以外的人如何看待美国感到好奇，但发现他们不再像以前那样对美国的政治局势发表评论，这可能表明他们对美国的看法发生了变化。我强调了在实践中传播善意的重要性，认为即使是小额的慈善捐赠也能产生更大的影响。此外，我还认为“不要国王”抗议活动是一个爱国时刻，它让人们团结起来，共同反对专制。
