28. They are complicit and active participants in the coup

Fri Feb 21, 2025, 10:18 AM

Yesterday

As are the corrupt six on the Supreme Court.

The great gop utopia they have in mind will not come to be because... look at who they've linked up with to achieve it?

Russia, with gop help, is destroying us from within without firing a single bullet. Why didn't republicans just move there instead of destroying the United States? I assume it's because they're angling for another version of race based slavery.
