Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage.

I hope America is as lucky as the delta jet - everyone survives but the right wing explodes

Put aside the nastiness of this post, & the way in he attacks Zelenskyy as a dictator but says not a word about his pal Putin, & just focus on the way it is written: would you hire this weird person to work for you? Would you trust this odd person to teach your kid in school?
