in the rest of the primaries between now and then. Attempts will be made to measure the influence of growing extremism and resistance to it, but of course the greatest resistance to extremism is always from many millions of quiet but firm votes.

without worrying about reprisals. When talking about the right, they have to be highly measured and show deference or there will be immediate calls for their dismissal. Of course, that's true. The right is ready to pounce and will go after anyone.

Seems to be screaming the loudest to destroy FBI and law enforcement. You think she may be squirming that they could be looking for evidence she planted the famous J6 bombs? Asking for the “Democrat” party. Whoever they are. Without FBI, Antifa could run amuck and come after all MAGA.😱😱😱😱😱

I do not recommend going there. The main thing I learned is that these people are much worse than I had imagined. If you believe in good and evil these people are the very definition of evil.

One buy asks every liberal he sees if they are “homosexual”. If you answer yes or don’t answer him at all he will follow you around posting the dame bible verses and telling you how you will be going to hell. He somehow believes all liberal are gay, trans, pedophiles.

The other people just abuse you with their conspiracy theories and are impervious to actual facts.They are truly unhinged.
Biden can’t possibly be running the country - it’s really Obama’s 3rd term.

Of course the FBI is controlled by Biden (not Obama apparently) and they planted documents to destroy their king, They actually call him a king. Most of their profiles say “gob bleed Trump” or “I love President Trump”.

The are so complete brainwashed and in a cult of personality that they are beyond hope. They insist Trump has never done anything wrong and ridicule you if you mention going to prison.

They are impervious to anything but what TFLG days or their preferred media. I posted an article from WaPo stating 30,573 lies on 4 years and of course they attacked the source as fake news.

I’m keeping my ID there for when he is arrested just more the glorious Shadenfraude. And I will be saying “I told you so you fucking morons!!!”.

extremely concerned for our country being compromised over the last 6 years by a huckster mob boss aka "Slobfather." We are extremely angry for some MAGATs who constantly abuse the system and are not held accountable. We are worried about the chasm being created over the last 6 years by a sociopath bent on dividing us. We are wondering if the treasonous relationship with Putin We suspect will be brought to light.
And we remain committed to the truth and support the legal process, even though it seems glacial at times. And We do not feel the need to carry AR-15's around and threaten people. But don't think We are going to let the domestic terrorists win, because We won't.

IF this Civil War happens, my son could get ordered to shoot me in the head. Would he do it? I honestly don't know. He isn't the kid I raised any more. He's a man and got his own stuff going on.
