American citizens don't need any knowing states other than the 50! That's all one needs. Anything else, like state of shock, state of denial, state of mind, state of confusion and other states - shmates are simply devious schemes of the enemies from the other sides of the ideological spectrum, which will ultimately fail. Anyone who thinks that would ever work can go know themselves.
