1000 years of darkness if Obama won reelection.

At a rally for Greg Abbot he said “,I used to be a Democrat, but unfortunately the Democrats went too far to the left … and lost all reality of what America stood for."

Norris campaigned against Oama’s reelection with a PSA, warning that the country “could be lost forever” and that another Obama win would lead to “1,000 years of darkness.”

He undoubtedly voted for Trump and will be an inspiration for MAGA incels and ICE recruits forever. RIP.
