Now the National Guard can declare victory... over Washington DC's gardens.
You can call me Iron, or Don if you prefer. I can be a bit of a jackass, so I might just offend you. Politics is my passion, although I do love sci-fi in general, and horror (to a degree). I am a Democrat, Liberal & Atheist. #Resist #Rebel #Fight 📎

You may wonder why I've stopped posting. Frankly, it's because I thought my fellow Americans had more steel in their spine. I thought people would see the rising Fascist evil, stand up, take up arms and say "NEVER AGAIN!". But no... they think phone calls and protests will stop the Fascists 😂🤣😂🤣😂

I'd say the message is pretty clear: Trump doesn't think Americans will rise up in revolution against his rising Fascist authoritarian dictatorship. And given what I've seen so far, he may well be right, since people are convinced that phonecalls and protests are going to stop him.
