    Dear Red-State Trump Voter,
    Let’s face it, guys: We’re done.


    It is a tragedy that so much of the work that so many men and women toiled at for so long to make this a better country, and a better world, has been thrown away, leaving us all in such needless peril.

    This is why our separation in all but name is necessary.

    Additionally treason, sedition, insurrection and foreign enemy whoring among the GQP who are at war against Democracy as tRump who among his GOPer enabled the covid murder of over 600,000 Americans. The repuke party is the number one enemy against America and humanity with tRump, in particular, in the sewer directing this barbaric atrocity on society.

    AND that also stems from the corruption of so-called representatives from money in politics. It is the root of all the propaganda which benefits corporations.

    LOL, you are a moron
    Why Biden? Because Fuck You that's why. Barack Obama has a Grammy, an Emmy, a Nobel Prize, 2 terms as President and a Twitter account.

    Donald Trump has 2 impeachments.

    That's a bridge too far! No way he can be the source of ALL the problems, but I bet he did vote in favor of Citizens United.

    It is not the existence of money that is the problem. The right-wing supreme court allowed money to be free speech and permitted corporations and the wealthy to dominate election advertising. The Roberts court is the most pro-corporate of all time. Who thought they would not open our politics to the power of money?

    Bribery is not free speech. Bad decision.

    Teddy Roosevelt warned us about the wealth and money passed through generations. He said it was different "in kind" from money earned by a guy with a great idea. We do not begrudge a person like that from making a fortune. But his family and generations after are not the same. They inherit wealth and power and want more. They are a threat to America as the founders created it. That is why he started the inheritance tax and trust-busting. That has been demolished by Repubs since then.
    The real power is the billionaires who work in the background. https://ceoworld.biz/2021/06/01/50-w...est-dynasties/
