16. "Think of the worst they can do and then prepare for them to do it."
Tue Jun 16, 2026, 09:00 AM
Tuesday

Something I and some others have been screaming about for over a year now.

But, 'wiser heads' know better.

I cannot wait to hear their rhetoric when we are being dragged out of our houses and vehicles during the 'Great Ant-American Purge'.

Call me whatever you want. I am ready to say I was wrong if things don't play out as I fear.

Are you ready to do the same when we are proven correct? Will it matter when we are all sitting in their brand new gulags about to be executed in the name of that orange gibbon? Will these moderates even understand it then?

We are in trouble. It is not just from the current regime. Removing that regime is just the start of what had to be done if we truly want to fix this.

We don't of course, but that is what needs to happen.
