Wow. Just wow. Words don’t have meanings anymore. Seriously. Clearly in JD’s brain, as in MAGA more broadly, “socialism” just means “whatever I think you should be scared of.”

Sir Ian McKellen orates 'The Stranger's Case' from 'Sir Thomas More' by Shakespeare about the Evil May Day xenophobic riot of 1517 in London. This passage was written 400 years ago, but times never change. Humanity refuses to change its unwarranted bias against 'others'.

Honestly, I don’t know how anyone believes they will leave peacefully. They have made it clear they will not. People need to be prepared—either we stop it here, or our elections are elections in name only, with outcomes determined by Trump. Like Russia.
