38. Forgive? No way in hell
Mon Jun 1, 2026, 12:30 PM
Monday

After his first reign of terror, they should have known what they were getting. His Project 2025 laid it all out, the worst was yet to come. They are complicit in the destruction of this country, and I have no forgiveness or empathy for them.
