I wonder how these Republicans would have felt if it was Obama or Biden who wanted unchecked power? 🤨

I would like to see an updated Poll of 'supposed' Republicans. Some people I know won't even say they are still Republicans. People that voted for him claim they didn't know he would do all these terrible things but they were warned. They say they just didn't believe he would really do it. So Sad!

Excuse me, but those percentages were all below 50%, most significantly below 30%… even Republican voters oppose a King in America. Let’s push that narrative instead… ok. It is factual.
