Maybe you should be arrested for suggesting your president is not right. It's obviously not the same. Everyone loves Trump and nobody likes the Democrats. Everybody knows that the elections that gave Obama and Biden's presidencies were rigged by the wicked woke antifa ecologists LGBTQ terrorists and therefore illegitimate. They were the real dictators coming for your guns,, straws, 'merry Christmas', and gendered bathrooms. It's that simple.

I'm not surprised they are trying to do all of this stuff, or that they are so bad at it, I am a little surprised at the lack of pushback on anything this time around. The first time they tried all of this stuff and there was institutional pushback. Those people have apparently all been purged from the government already.
