Record prosperity and lowest unemployment for blacks Hispanics Asians and women since records have been kept 5. Complete energy independence from every nation in the world 6. The increase National Security for all Americans because of the above not having to be dependent or held hostage to other countries for their oil 7. Record low gas and oil prices for over 300 million people because of the above 8. Record low Transportation costs for goods and services and travel of individuals because of the above 9. Record low, almost non-existent inflation because of the above 10. A booming economy for everyone because of the above 11. Permanent funding for the first time in history of historically black colleges and universities 12. Did the most to fight human trafficking and child sex slavery of anyone in our lifetime 13. The most secure border of our lifetime 14. The history of loving and caring about people, paying off their Hospital bills, paying for expensive cutting-edge treatment they couldn't afford, paying people's mortgages off that were in financial distress, letting a homeless black woman that had snuck into one of his high-rise hotel rooms live there for free after she was found out, and countless other good deeds that he's done that he never talks about and are never mentioned by the mouthpiece of satan, the mainstream media, the bullies that owned in control and have all the power and influence and money to brainwash and Trigger and make everyone angry and divided So please tell me, which one of those things do you hate that has made you so angry and triggered that you would fight against those?😢😢😢 I can't imagine anyone would knowingly hate and fight and vote against those things, unless they were really psychologically mentally and emotionally sick, perhaps a racist and a genocidal maniac?😢😢😢 Please help me understand, may God bless and comfort you, may you allow him to wrap his loving arms around you and bring you unto him through his son Jesus Christ, amen❤❤❤❤❤

Tells something how engaged (or just suppressed by the right) a lot of the population is, then add the effects of rampant misinformation and nazi Elon to the rest. What you guys need is a healthy progressive voting system that encourages multi-party political field to get out of this division. Add to that required amount of polling stations / amount of people and/or area, as well as weekend election day. Voilá, you'd be closer to real democracy. None of this will happen of course, since the autocrats control all branches of government now. Europe and especially the Nordics welcome you all (happiest countries of the world), we got cookies. 😅

They might not admit it out loud, but hopefully they’ll self reflect on the facts. The first year or so will be fine because he’ll be riding the success of Biden/Harris, but once he, and his swamp fillers, start making bad decisions, everyone will see he’s not this messiah but rather a megalomaniac.

Aside from that, I thought "Republicans" HATED "czars"... aren't they inherently evil and nefarious, at least whenever that tag is derisively applied to a "Demoncrat" - the hypocrisy of these f*cking people goes to infinity, I swear. This unqualified, privileged know-nothing could be a poster boy for the Dunning-Kruger effect. Eliminating fluoride from the water supply... seriously? Many won't remember or weren't even alive at the time, but 40 years ago that was a punchline to illustrate how crazy fringe crackpots like this were.

Look into it - there's no regulation on homeschooling whatsoever. Nobody checks if education is happening, or if the kids even exist. There's no requirement in most states to even provide education. One family I knew was reported to CPS because their 9 yr old couldn't read, and all CPS said was that her parents had the right to educate her at their own pace. Nobody flipping cares. That's the most horrifying thing about eliminating the Department of Education. There are thousands of kids in America being tortured to death behind closed doors, and it's only going to get worse.
