GOP Looking At Passing Laws Making Protesting A Felony. [View all]

The battle is really about to begin. And protesters could be arrested and charged with felonies. The GOP is also a monster and Trump is only part of our problem. The act like they will rule with an iron fist. This stolen election has emboldened the GOP and their real image is now clear. They are the monsters and terrorists of the country. The terrorists will not destroy the country. The GOP and Trump will.
