You make good points I want to address:

eventually the pitchforks are going to come out.


They're coming out now:
-- the Koch Heritage Foundation's been hacked and the data released that proves they've violated IRS law:

-- our site passed this along to get us to help

-- the US Justice Department secured court approval to seize two domain names and search nearly 1,000 social media accounts allegedly associated with the effort.
“With these actions, the Justice Department has disrupted a Russian-government backed, AI-enabled propaganda campaign to use a bot farm to spread disinformation in the United States and abroad,” Attorney General Merrick Garland said....

-- re the felon, the attorney general of New Jersey stripped the felon's liquor licenses at both Bedminster and all NJ golf clubs because he is a felon convicted of crimes of “moral turpitude” and his attempt to transfer the license in the name of Don Jr. failed as well. No one associated with the felon may obtain a liquor license, as well.
this could lead to the forced sale of the felon's clubs if he fails to get his NY convictions overturned.

Look at what's happening with abortion and women ... if the "laws" are not overturned soon.

California, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Vermont, and Ohio restored abortion rights -- a couple in their state constitutions, and full access -- and a whole nother bunch of states have abortion rights on the ballot in November.

Just tryin' to say we're ON it and there's reason to hope.
It's also the growing voter awareness of corporate insurgency that Democrats, many never-trumpers, women, Blacks and Latinos will also be voting against.

Thanks for getting me goin' here!
