"🎵Did you ever know that you're my hero?
And everything I would like to be
I can fly higher than an eagle
For you are the wind beneath my wings
It might have appeared to go unnoticed
But I've got it all here in my heart
I want you to know, I know the truth,..
I would be nothing without you" 🎵

Republicans are going to cheat & gerrymander with the rubber stamp of the Supreme Court.

It will be very hard for Democrats to take back the House and Senate.

Meanwhile, Trump will send the military to crush protests, and when he gets desperate, he'll implement martial law.

Eyes wide open, folks.
