It's the TEA party

Congrats to #blueanon for continuing to play the "They're coming after your social security" card. Sadly, there are millions of #blueanon'ers who believe that to their core.

Fully assimilated. Fully indoctrinated :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Post by: Sandstone Outcropping on November 03, 2022, 09:19:10 AM: Deep State RINO squish Jair sells out to the woke left and asks his supporters not to engage in violent protests or obstruct the peaceful transfer of power in Brazil. Very SAD.
