There is no greater love for the country than standing against fascism, authoritarianism rising in your country.

There is no greater disloyalty to your country than posthumously surrendering to past defeated enemies' ideals.

Would you rank the best costume protesting Noem's ICE, a dog, or the dinosaur?

Or other costume with meaning,

Or one purposely with no meaning, demonstrating the ridiculous nature of MAGA.

Or, one purposely evoking joy and laughter.

We know that Miss Crazy is driven around by others for nefarious purposes aside from his own nefarious purposes.

We have seen the violent feds framing protesters, in front of invited partisans, instead of hard news, then "reported" to the president in a propagandist circle at the white house.

Protesters are ordered to a designated spot where they stay.

Feds invited fringe right wing influencers to stand behind them on roofs.

Feds then began tear gassing, flash bang grenade bombing, shooting pepper bullets from the roof at the protesters.
