    A great American city is on the precipice of being run by a communist who has publicly embraced a terroristic ideology,” Representative Andy Ogles from the Republican party said

      They are already abducting and “deporting” US citizens. Your line in the sand has been crossed. Just because they haven’t done it yet to one of your parasocial relationship chosen-ones doesn’t mean it isn’t already happening.

      Well, how do they defend the fact that theyre currently kidnapping US citizens? Id say deporting them but most of these US citizens (mind you they never got a trial) just vanish without a trace. Tbh it seems a lot more likely theyre being trafficked.

            The Big Light Switch got flipped in 1968, with RFK’s assassination. Had he lived, he would have become president, the Vietnam War would have ended much earlier, and we would never have Watergate, which triggered a nefarious Republican Revenge Plot that is currently entering its final stage.

            RFK’s assassination is where the timelines split.
