It's truly insane that the media is treating any of this like it's normal. [View all]

We know what MAGA's true intentions are. They want to destroy the government. They want to eliminate the Department Of Education. They want to eliminate public education. They want to eliminate vaccines. They want to eliminate public health and drug research. They want to gut nearly all of our government departments. They want to deport 15 million people. They want to end birthright citizenship. They want to repeal the 14th amendment to the Constitution. They want to fire over 75% of the government and put each department's stats on a leaderboard on social media like it's a game. They want to ban video games, porn, and Tik Tok. They are appointing neo Nazis, sex offenders, Fox News hosts, and billionaires to run and ruin our nation's institutions. They want to tank the economy by imposing some extreme tariffs on China, Canada and Mexico because they are criminally insane.

Why are we treating this murderous regime with kid gloves on? We're bringing kitchen table knives to a battle that's being fought with rocket launchers, tanks, and sub machine guns. Our nation is being held hostage by sadistic think tanks run by billionaires for billionaires (the Heritage Foundation and Federalist Society) and a rogue "news network" that's basically a state run TV propaganda outlet with a different name (Fox News). The media should be repeating this phrase every night: NONE OF THIS IS NORMAL.

NONE OF THIS IS NORMAL.

NONE OF THIS IS NORMAL.

NONE OF THIS IS NORMAL.

NONE OF THIS IS NORMAL.

NONE OF THIS IS NORMAL.

NONE OF THIS IS NORMAL.
