Americans have more in common with each other than the media tells you, who are more interested in clickbait outrage, and what such as Trump tells you - running on nothing more than the anger and resentment fed to you like pablum.
You are actually, my dear Americans, a scary lot of people to the likes of Trump and whatever that party is calling themselves Republicans these days. They aren't conservatives,
they're something else entirely.
There is strength in numbers, and the numbers show you have more in common than not.
Use it, get what you want.
It's all up there in Michael's stats.
Take your power back.
IF TRUMP LOSES THIS ELECTION, HE MUST BE STOPPED FROM USING HIS CORRUPTED JUDGES ON THE SUPREME COURT TO OVERTURN THE ELECTION RESULTS AND SWEEP HIMSELF BACK INTO THE WHITE HOUSE.
Please tell President Biden to use his new presidential powers given to the office of the president of the United States by Trumps corrupted Supreme Court's judges (in order to give Trump immunity.)
Biden must use these new powers to stop Trump and sign into law the bills we need to keep our democracy safe.
We need many people to send President Biden this message before it is too late.
Please Hurry!!!!!.
