We haven’t seen anything yet. Anyone who cannot see the INTENTIONAL destruction of America, our Constitution and traditions happening in real time is either not looking or are one of them. I believe the REAL American people (those who don’t hate their country) have awaken like I had always hoped they would. Turn off ALL establishment media. You have plenty of options for TRUTH and factual information. Thank GOD we have 12 REAL Americans in Kenosha Wisconsin who would not be intimidated or bullied by a corrupt media and their terrorists mobs!! If they can find their courage, so can you!
