Yesterday I got into it with one of the only, or perhaps THE only, MAGAt artists in our entire gallery, when I said that the orange slime seems determined to crash the entire world economy, based on how he's going so far. He really had no argument so he started in on immigration but had no argument for that either except his "open borders" garbage. The whole thing ended with him calling me a stupid communist and me calling him an ignorant fascist for not know even who Stephen Miller is or not knowing what Project 2025 was about. God, these people are STUPID!

He is an expert on Russia and the rise of Putin to transform Russia into an autocracy. Said it took Putin 10 years to accomplish what Trump has in 6 months in the US.

To have the military deployed in American cities being used against the American people is something we should never see in a free democracy. ICE is the secret police and they're already targeting non immigrants who happen to speak out against Trump. The FBI is openly raiding the homes of the President's critics right now.

We live in an autocracy now and these people aren't going to give back power, autocrats never do.
