But the oligarchs need uneducated since they’re banning undocumented workers
Plenty of uneducated in red states (ha!), but they’re trying to prevent more of those damn college type liberals in blue states
Trump destroys the foundations of our

1) If you have even an OUNCE of hate towards another fellow human you are prohibited from calling yourself “Christian”.
2) Churches MUST pay taxes.
Republicans prefer to hold the strings on their puppets!
They use lies and misinformation knowing that their base would never consider to fact check what they’re being told.
They don’t want you to understand their scams.
no idea how long it will take for the masses to wake up to cold, hard reality but i've read that 3.5% of a country's population peacefully demonstrating is the threshold for regime change.
in america, that's 12 million people.

it’s the amount of participation that matters.
35 people out of every 1000.
Dear Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent

Read Constitution
More than 7 billion people live outside of USA and our businesses want to
be able to sell to them.
Sane people want to be able to buy products from other countries that are far higher quality and safer than many products made in USA.
There are many great products made in USA

Congress should be able to veto decisions of Federal Reserve whenever it wants, fire members of Federal Reserve, fire employees of Federal Reserve.
