This will wake people up ? [View all]

The Muller report- The overturning of Roe v Wade- George Floyd. Now it’s Renée Good & Alex Pretti., and the midterms. Especially the midterms, surely that will save us.
I am hoping that the democratic leadership is prepared for the republicans to stop at nothing to retain power. Ice at polling places, ballots being confiscated, insurrection act etc. Think of the worst they can do and then prepare for them to do it.
I am being told that my fears are unfounded because the country is too big, but they don’t have to attack our voting system across the entire country. Just in a few states. Will be so very happy to be proven wrong.
