ᴮᵉⁿ ᴿᵒʸᶜᵉVOTE IN THE PRIMARIESNov 23

As an American I'd like to imagine an alternative reality

Where I lived in a large #democracy in the Western hemisphere

That suffered a lying douchebag seizing power via a cult of bigots and ignorants

Who tried to claim #election hoax, tried to commit violence

But was convicted

Instead of seizing power again because of the fecklessness of his country's institutions

Oh wait

That's #Brazil #Brasil

@benroyce The Biden regime deliberately shielding Trump from prosecution was the dumbest, most morally outrageous, and most consequential manifestation of the Dem desire to sell out to the Republicans that I’ve ever seen.
