They aren't stupid.

They aren't gullible.

Not surprised they are indeed the FACE of Evil in America and that their bigotry, prejudice, racism (whatever one wants to call it) is conscious.

I'm never letting them off the hook and I'm never going to let them forget WHAT they are and what they said and did during this time.

We did that before in this country. It was a monumental failure that leads to the BIGOTS in America Uprising today.

Bring the bastards to heel.
