Because when delusion rules our freedoms cease to exist, which is what is happening now.
It is Reason that will restore what Delusion has destroyed.
Can't never could.
Won't never will.
Quitters never win.
They want you to concede defeat.
They want to destroy your desire to fight.
They want you to lay down and die.
FUCK THAT.
Steel your resolve.
Embrace what you love.
Seize your day.

Part of the autocrat's playbook. Next up, fixing elections so the autocrat and his enablers in Congress can't lose.

No, but it's a certainty now. All the talk about how we will take back our country in 2026/2028 is fantasy.

"The attack on free speech isn't coming--it's already here." Was that ever in doubt?
