When I see Steve Bannon doing a Nazi salute to cheers it means only one thing: 420,000 U.S. troops died defending our country from Nazi assholes and 77 million people voted for them to be in power. MAGA betrayed our country voting for this nightmare.

The GOP convicted felon has launched a war on the American people & our constitution. We have guardrails to stop a rogue president. But are our lawmakers? Happy to be part of it & obey, in the foolish belief that THEY will be spared. Wait for the final irony. #Opposition #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory
