      🤔 The plan is to destroy America from within via the hand of its own generosity. Foreign enemy combatants of all stripes are attempting to bankrupt this once proud country of all assets and morality. True facts are incessantly being restricted, censored, and withheld while deliberately misleading and misinforming the American citizens of what they are up against - the total annihilation of any form of western culture including all of its personal freedoms. Yes, along with those freedoms we still enjoy comes the responsibility we have to our future generations to give them a better world than we grew up in. I grew up in a beautiful country called America during the 1960's and 1970's. That carefree way of life is now a distant hazy memory. You are all contributing to the slavery of your future generations to abusive and backwards thinking religious zealots. What happened to the real American men and women I thought I used to know. What a pathetic excuse we are when it comes to defending our God given rights to self govern and the pursuit of happiness. Invaders go home.

      @David Owen Its hard to feel sorry for a MAGA, but I feel sorry for you if you feel your orange Jesus will be President again. Oh wait, isn’t he supposed to be President now but is secretly letting Joe be the face for now? No wait…he’s just waiting for the right time to announce he actually won the election and was just handling things a Marlargo until things smoothed over. 😂
