I feel so sick. Enough with the lies, enough with the games. They know exactly what they're doing. This is a neo-Nazi movement. Proudly so. The only reason they've kept it coded up until now was to take advantage of those who didn't want to believe it. No more looking away. Face up to what it is.

Fuck you, Merrick Garland, for never treating criminals like criminals. For not having the balls to wield the power of US Law, given to you by POTUS, and allowing this chance for those criminals to now make our laws. Fuck. You.
