[@WILTALK]

Your hatred is a product of the media that is owned by those that wish to destroy our nationality. When nations cease to exist there will be no one left to stand against their ability to control the world. It should be obvious that when the media is constantly putting a negative spin on everything the man does or says that there is a major agenda behind it. The majority of you people do not possess a modicum of objectivity. You are ripe for brain washing. What you have ignored is that the Government in Orwells 1984 was copied after the Soviet Union not a right wing fascist state. It was his follow up to Animal Farm.

And he also has a thousand or so J6 people either in jail or that have already served their time. trump promised to help them, but instaed only helped himself.
