35. Just not enough to knock off the biggest farce ever perpetrated on our country, right?

I've lost sleep, peace of mind and hope for our country because too many people got conned in 2016 and again in 2024.

Don't blame me. I voted for both of them, but there had be something that got us in this dystopia.

They may be popular among us, but we're only part of the electorate, not the entire electorate.
