There are only two choices in the next election - democracy or fascism?

We get to choose.

Or we let someone else choose for us?

Do not think for an instant that democracy is not on the ballot. Fascism is the only other choice.

You may think it is hyperbole? But, I think not.

It will come apart like the former Yugoslavia and Dump will be a dumber version of Slobodan Milosevic.

I think the better question is which region will secede first.

I am skeptical even corporations can contain the political, ethnic and cultural divisions that been released.

The longer the cancer is allowed to fester in the WH, the more likely the outcome I mention becomes.

That’s the deal the big money 💰 one per centers have made with the proletariat.
The moneychangers will give the Evangelical Dominionists like Pence their Christian nation as long as they still get to control all of the money.
