23. I'm on edge every day wondering what shoe will fall next.

We need a hero. If not We the People need to take on this despot with more than just protests. If protests are outlawed we must become outlaws or we will all perish.
Trump is not letting up. He is slowly smothering liberty every day. We cannot be docile sheep about this. I'm not speaking of anarchy. I'm speaking of literally defending our cointry within our country. We cannot let this bigoted racist Vladimir Putin ass licker ruin our country. It's obvious people were fooled by his carnival barker diatribes. He is extremely dangerous. Danger must be dealt with or we will be very soon dead. I know the military has the gun power but we have numbers. I just can't conceive of the military slaughtering they're own relatives in the street. And I never thoight I would hear a President call for the murder of families. Sorry to sound alarmist but it's time to sound the alarm.
