18. I do not care who made what mistake

Nov 24

Yes, I can say I would have run the election different...BUT...and this is a BIG BUT, anyone, and I do mean anyone, be ye hard right, centre right hard left centre left that did not vote for harris is an enemy, period. It does nto matter if they are friends or family, if they voted for trump, they literally voted to give Trump the power to KILL YOU.

And that goes TRIPLE for those in my family that are Latinx. They got seduced because they made a bit of money, and they fell for the oldest trick in the book, where the white friends say "at least you ain't black" Trum and his people have NO honor, and they will be the first to shovel their followers into the furnace, especially when the chill of bad ideas finally falls.

And we know that when they come knocking on whatever door we have left, not only will they beg, but they will also demand.
We know that whatever ship we build to float, they will try to mutiny and become captain. T

The so-called Centre-left, who tried to make Harris and Hillary lean more to the right, I am especially looking at you. May Joe and Mika welcome you to whatever Hell goes for those who knew better but kept thinking they were too clever to be caught. I hope Musk buys out MSNBC and makes Joe Scab get him his coffee
