If I was only to post one thing online before our free of speech was gone:

No Republican at any level of government should ever be allowed to hold office again!

I just heard Charlemagne the God say this in a podcast w/ Nicolle Wallace.

Not a fan C the G - but he nailed it.

And tomorrow - it is We the People doing the work.

These current Republicans were once southern Democrats, who became Dixiecrats. Their labels can and will change. Their toxicity and insufferable sense of righteousness do not, and that’s the yardstick to measure them by. By this time in 2029, none of them would admit to ever being a Republican. And we must be eternally vigilant as they start sticking their noses into our tents.

See what they have done over the years (not just the past few months), and don't ever trust the words of any politician running for office - no matter the label.
