we went full authoritarian empire in less than a year imagine two more years by 2028 what this nightmare is going to look like even if the Dems get the Senate somehow it will barely slow them down Bush admin was horrible with Iraq War and economy crashing but this is a whole new level of corruption and I am starting to believe USPS is most definitely going to destroy voting by mail handing them the midterms anyway wh…

Not less than a year. This has been in the works for a very, very long time. They needed six seats on the Supreme Court, a decades long propaganda machine to produce a population scared, hateful, and malinformed enough to elect such an obvious empathy lacking charlatan as president, …

Domestic terrorists do exist. And Don Lemon got kicked out of the CNN. Not surprised he’s mentioned here. Not everything is an abuse of power.

Why stop there?

Obviously crime would cease to exist, producing the utopia we all knew this administration would achieve! America would be HOT! So HOT!!!

When did humanity decide to stop thinking?
