Interesting, you say that. There is actually a dialogue sentence in the book that essentially says what you say: "No borders, no flags."

I read the comments, and somehow Sarandon is responsible for Trump being in power (again). In a country where you have the choice between Epstein's Democrats or Epstein's Reps, she used her position of influence to push for alternatives. USA is corrupt to the bone marrow. She shows a different way.
